I’m a writer based in Norwich with a lifelong affinity with words and storytelling.
interests
I seem to have been entranced by words and stories for as long as I can remember. My interests range from interwar European history and fiction; English weird and eerie fiction; the world of the Vikings and the Anglo-Saxons; the short story; modern and renaissance art; contemporary photography and all kinds of films.
When I’m not reading or writing, I like cooking, cycling, travelling in Europe and looking after renegade cats and lost hedgehogs.
