Writer, author and speaker. I relish the challenge of finding the right words and then plugging them into the rhythm of life.

Words have always been my friends.

They’ve got me into jobs, out of trouble, around problems and through difficult times for myself and others.

I love their power to inform, instil, enthuse, empathise and entertain. I enjoying playing around with them to make them work that little bit harder.

Above all, I relish the challenge of finding the right words and then plugging them into the rhythm of life. From the unconditional joy of a three year old to the sadness of a lifetime ended and everything in-between, poetry always has a place.

Poems are dead if they’re not read. So I’m giving some of mine a new lease of life by sharing them with you. Some are serious, some topical, some personal, many just for fun. I hope you get half as much from reading them as I do from writing them.

I do like feedback and do occasional commissions, so feel free to contact me and say hello.
