Biography: Writing's in my blood - my father was an author as well as a very busy doctor. I used to be a teacher for children with special needs, and then, finally exhausted by all that this required of me, I decided to write full time.

To earn the pennies, I'm a freelance writer, producing material for various publishers and organizations. I throw myself into that whole-heartedly, but it's not what I REALLY want to be doing.

What I really want to be doing is writing screenplays - and, better still, screenplays that are made into films! I once had a burning ambition to see my name on the title page of a book. Been there, done that. Then my ambition was to see my name on the credits of a film that I'd written - a film that has translated my words and the fruits of my imagination into something visually beautiful. That has happened too now (twice at time of writing, with two more on the way) Small beginnings to what I hope will become a bigger future.

I'm married with three kids, all boys, all fairly much left home unless they need something! I live a rural existence, with three dogs and my beloved horses, Poppy and Alfie. A life of contrasts, either tethered to my computer screen or galloping across the fields on Alfie or hacking the country lanes on Poppy until she's fit enough to gallop again.

I'm blessed!
