My writing career started in 1981 when I became the editorial assistant for Good Living magazine and worked as a freelance contributor to Honey. By 1985 I was launch editor of LOOKS and in 1987 I became a freelance editor – focussing on creating new titles and resuscitating sick ones. I also worked as a travel writer.
I then became a television scriptwriter, specialising in ‘talking head’ documentaries. After working on Janet Street Porter’s Rough Guide to Careers I moved into the corporate sector, scripting training and informational films.
Aged 40, I renounced words and became a visual artist, graduating from Camberwell College of Art, and it wasn’t until 2018 that I started to write again – this time attempting a novel. I discovered that, even though I knew how to use words, a novel is a very complex and difficult thing and so I enrolled in Humber College’s Post Graduate Creative Writing Diploma course (in Ontario, Canada).
Having completed my as-yet-unpublished first novel (Leonard's Legacy), i am now working on my second.
