    It has been a little while since my last update, so this felt like a good moment to share what I’ve been working on ready for the festivities that will soon be upon us.

  • The last couple of months have been slighty bonkers . . .

    First, I must apologise for not posting for what seems like ages, but now seemed the right time to share what I have been up to. There are three things, no, actually four, if you count the story I’m writing about a woman who is on the verge of a breakdown, that might be based…

  • Personalised Storytelling for Children on the autistic spectrum: one story at a time

    Since graduating from my MA in Creative Writing, I’ve taken on a new academic adventure: a PhD focused on how authors like me can collaborate with parents to create personalised stories for children on the autistic spectrum.

  • “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” – commonly attributed to Dr. Seuss

    It’s been a while since I last posted, and I owe you all an apology. Life has been more than a little hectic, and part of that has been dealing with some heartbreaking news. Sadly, our beloved Rufus, who was such a big character in our lives, had to be put to sleep. He was…

  • Enjoyable Reads for the End of Summer

    It’s been a challenging few weeks as we wait for crucial biopsy results for one of our dogs, Rufus. He’s been bravely battling reactive histiocytosis, which has caused him significant discomfort. Despite trying different medications, nothing seems to be working just yet. We’re eager to hear what the next steps will be from the vets,…

  • Author Visit and updates

    Author Visit I recently had the pleasure of visiting a local school to speak with Year 9 students about my journey as an author. My left leg shook uncontrollably on the journey there but I was warmly welcomed. I felt honoured to be able to speak to the students and was given a thank you…

  • Father’s Day

    Father’s Day! That splendid day when we celebrate the marvellous men who taught us to be brave, to be kind, and to be just a little bit cheeky. I am honouring my dad, my mum who played the role of father for so many years and my 91 year-old stepfather with a poem titled Brown…
