| Introduction | I'm a writer with things published, so feel free to google me. Probably my best known work is the Dr Who novel To Whit A Dalek, but I have done loads of other things as well. Short stories for Interzone and Crimley Tea rooms newsletter. Ideas, things in the pipeline. At the moment I'm getting into teaching, and am working on a podcast to help spread my knowledge as a creative writer. I'm divorced, but don't hold that against me. |
