Welcome
Here you will find news about my various publications & activities and examples of my writing. My work rises out of my intense interest in the natural world, art, mythology and history.
I write poetry & prose, long & short, for children & adults. I enjoy collaborating with other creatives and writing in response to particular objects, places & themes. Basically, I love variety in my creative life.
As an experienced teacher and workshop leader, I'm also able to deliver creative activities to all ages and help everyone feel that they have tapped into their potential as a writer. I hope you enjoy finding out more!
