| Introduction | I was born in 1955 and started writing in 1990. Since then, I've published four children’s novels, a poetry pamphlet, numerous poems in literary magazines, and short stories for adults and children. I've also taught creative writing, run workshops, undertaken commissions and given many readings. I've had lots of other jobs too, from peeling garlic to working for the Inland Revenue, but after taking a part-time degree in English and Media Studies as a mature student, I worked as an English teacher in a secondary school for 12 years. During that time, writing took a back seat. Now I've escaped from the classroom, emerged blinking into the light, and am back in the real world, writing again. |
