A varied career which has seen me do a variety of jobs during my time including security officer, stock control jobs, the British Army and the newspaper industry. But now I have answered my calling and become a freelance writer and budding author. I love this type of work, it means I get to write for a whole host of different people and companies each wanting something different and that is what I like, the variety. I can set my own hours and days that I work but always find I never stick to that and if someone wants something then I will write it no matter if I am supposed to be having a day to myself.
I love to travel and spend my time in between the UK, Sweden and Germany. In Sweden I spend time in a 300 year old house which is in dire need of renovating so I do that in between writing.
I am a keen gardener as you can see from the pictures below and I love to grow my own vegetables, I also love walking, computers, the environment oh and writing and reading!
I am English and was brought up in the North West of England. I was born on the 27th December 1965 to my dad, Dennis who was a bricklayer and my mum, Jean who worked in the nearby cotton mill. I loved my early years, so much to see and explore around me and my dad saw to it that I took an interest in the wildlife around me. That has stood the test of time and even now I love wildlife of all sorts and in winter make sure our feathered friends are well fed, in fact some days they are better fed than me! I loved school (but have never wanted to go back like most people do!) and in particular English. I loved to write short stories and read books but after leaving school I put all that knowledge to one side and took whatever work I could. As I said earlier I have worked in many different environments until in 2006 I decided to go it alone and freelance.
And that is what I am doing now, a freelance writer and a budding author. Budding author I hear you say? Well yes, I am in the middle of writing a book and have plans for a follow up, and a couple of other books which are at the early stages, so stay tuned.
I am available for any type of writing and will write anything from autobiographies to website content. I am comfortable writing in either UK or US English and will write about almost any topic. If you have any projects that require a professional writer then get in touch. If you need articles, documents or other projects you want translating from or to English, Swedish or German then get in touch, I can do that too!
