My first play was written when I was seventeen and resulted in me being expelled from school. Since then I have done various jobs. I have driven a lighting truck through Spain with the James Bond crew (click on the barrage balloon above to hear me talking some more about this), squelched under London in pitch-dark sewers, traded antiques and sold hot chestnuts. I am the proud guardian of four chickens, two boys and a cat. My short stories are published by Ether Books and in numerous anthologies, live lit events, websites and magazines including Liar's League, One Eye Grey, Litro and the Evening Standard.

I have told tales professionally at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, in high security prison, in a medical school, on board ship, in libraries, hospitals, forests, shops and of course, pubs. I have lots of experience working with children and I lead storytelling sessions for all ages. Click here for some press...

“Thank you so much for putting on such a great show... I've had a couple of lovely emails from people saying how much fun they had- one saying their daughter didn't stop talking about it all the way home!” (Conservation Officer- London Wildlife Trust)
