Welcome to my website.

I am a writer living on the beautiful Sefton coast in the North West of England, a stone’s throw from the sea with the Welsh mountains on one side and the Cumbrian fells on the other.  Liverpool is only a heartbeat away.

I write fiction, script and poetry.

I am a Lecturer in Creative Writing at The Open University http://fass.open.ac.uk/people/jr5845.

I reflect and think about writing and how writers find space for their work in my blog: A Writer Retreats.
