About Me
Where and Why
Born in London, I grew up in West Norwood where I spent many an hour watching Laurel and Hardy reruns with my dad who would be crying with laughter. I laughed at my dad laughing. It was this early introduction to comedy and the way it made people feel, that got me hooked. I started rewriting Paddington Bear stories, (because I loved him and knew of nothing else!), to make them funnier and would record them onto an old tape machine. I carried on writing throughout my teens however as it wasn't deemed a viable career I started to write behind closed doors and became a window dresser instead, and then an eye casualty clerk, and then a teaching assistant, and then a librarian, and then back to being a teaching assistant, finally losing the will to live and leaving to work in Football.
Many years of moving around the country I find myself now living and writing in Dorset. Settled. Finally!

BAFTA Rocliffe Script Review:
Oddlings
"A bunch of misfits gathered together to investigate UFO's feels like a classic sitcom set up. As such, the inherent idea of Oddlings is full of potential!"
