Hello, and welcome to my site. You can use the navigation bar at the top of the page to get around.

The Divide is my trilogy of children’s fantasy novels, which have been translated into several other languages.

Barrington Stoke books are for struggling readers. So far I have written two of these.

I also write fiction and poetry for adults. My novella Missing Link was published in October 2009.

I’ve had several different incarnations as a writer, starting out with plays for BBC Radio 4. The first one was called Somebody Else’s Smile, and was broadcast on June 9th,  1978, with the wonderful Patricia Hayes as a geriatric trouble-maker. I’ve written short stories for newspapers, magazines and radio, as well as poetry, children’s books and novellas. I originally studied fine art, although I later did an MA in Creative Writing, and nearly all the artwork on the site is mine. I’m also a keen amateur naturalist, and I unashamedly post my wildlife photographs on my blog!
