A brief Background:

I started writing back in my early twenties but, inevitably, life sort of got in the way and I never acheived my dream of becoming an author. Back then I used pencil and paper, or old jotters, and kept them in a carrier bag. Most were unfinished short stories but I'd also written many other plot ideas.

Then, in 2004, the BBC held the 'End of Story' competition where you had the chance to finish one of eight stories from different authors. I chose Shaun Hutson's 'The Tunnel'. It didn't get placed but it did give me the encouragement to continue writing, adding to my previous efforts. However, a change in career that same year, meant I had no time to write and it all came to another, full stop.

A few years ago, while clearing out the loft, I came across them again and, after reading a few, decided to put them onto computer in my spare time. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed writing and my love of story telling was rekindled. I'm glad I kept my old scribbles, they've proved very useful.

Since then I've been published in the first Oxford Flash Fiction Anthology 'Sticks and Stones' with my story 'The Lover' and in the Retreat West Anthology 'A Cast of Crabs' for being short-listed in their short story competition with 'The Leonids'.

It was these little successes that convinced me to publish my stories on Amazon.

"Why not?" I said to myself and, encouraged by my daughter, have now published four books with more on the way.

I have recently edited, designed the cover for, and have two stories in, 'Fictional Reality'. A writing contest anthology by Pulp Fictional.com. It features two sories from Shaun Hutson who was also their VIP judge. Click the link to view the book on Amazon Fictional Reality

Whenever I get free time I'm writing something, either for a book I'm trying to finish or a competition I'm hoping to win.

There, that's enough for now.

By the way, I'm featured on Pulp Fictional.com. A site for writing competitions and stories that's open to anyone over eighteen and from anywhere in the world. They also commented on my books. Shaun Hutson, the godfather of gore, is their VIP judge.

Perhaps I should take up poetry!
