My Life...

I work full time as a writer, a tutor
and a competition judge.

I'm the head judge
for Writers' Forum
Fiction Competitions
and for
H E Bates 2010.


A brief history:
I was born near Moenchengladbach in Germany, where my mother happened to be at the time. We were an army family so moved on to Cyprus and Malta. Malta is my favourite place in the world. But now I live in Northamptonshire.

Some of my favourite films:
The Blues Brothers, Brassed Off, National Lampoon Animal House, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, Little Voice, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Pulp Fiction, Cliffhanger and The Wedding Singer. Oh, and all the Star Wars films.

And favourite music:
Early David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Dean Friedman, Dory Previn, Billy Joel, Mott the Hoople, Ian Dury, Squeeze, Carol Bayer Sager, Nickelback, Meatloaf ...
I could go on forever.

I'm very boring about Formula 1
Whatever else is happening in my life, I make time to watch the Formula 1 races through the season. If I miss one - perhaps we're on holiday - I sulk.
