I'm an English writer based in Birmingham UK. For several years, I earned my living as an advertising copywriter – creating press ads, TV and radio commercials, websites, and the like. Initially for advertising agencies, but then later as a freelancer. In between times I also indulged a passion for literary writing. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve enjoyed thinking up stories and entertaining through words. As a teenager I won the Chatterton national poetry prize, and after completing a degree in English Literature at Cambridge University, was one of the early students on the M.A. in Creative Writing course at UEA run by Malcolm Bradbury and Angus Wilson.
