I am married with three grown-up children and live in Yorkshire. I work as a librarian part-time and in my spare time I love to read and write. I am a published poet and had my first collection published by Poetry Space, Bristol.

I get many of my ideas for writing from my surroundings and experiences. If I am out and about I will write down something that catches my attention and try to use it for my writings. I am always mixing and shuffling things around with my writing ideas. I have many hobbies and interests, such as playing tennis, cycling, walking, and politics.
