BIOGRAPHY
I'm originally from the Lake District, where my family still live. Studied Graphic Design at Harrogate Art College and Middlesex University in London. My first job took me to Trowbridge, Wiltshire where I was tasked with re-designing the local paper from a tired old broadsheet to the more modern looking tabloid it is today. I've been here ever since and have worked for several different companies and now freelance, whilst writing and promoting my books and doing loads of author visits to schools, libraries and community centres. 

After receiving several poems from me, my girlfriend told me "You need to do something with that talent", I started writing children’s books and have not looked back! I also have a creative and talented daughter Isla, who inspired me to start writing children’s stories. That’s when “The Witches’ Tea Party” was born! I’ve since written “Turtle Trouble” about pollution and recycling which has really taken off! I’m so pleased with this one!

I plan on writing more books, following on from the success of my first two. Watch this space folks! I have several written up but the next one I want to write first is still in my head and it needs to be even better than “Turtle Trouble”; which is going to be tough!

When I'm not writing, I love adventures in my vw campervan.

My dream would be to become a successful published author full time and give up my day job. I also have some other crazy plans, such as getting into voice-over acting as I love doing accents and impressions, but the world's not ready for that yet! Or are they?
 
I hope you enjoy my books!
