I'm a writer and poet. I perform regularly at spoken word events in the Hastings area and beyond. My book 'Poems from the Edge of England' is on Amazon.

My poetry collection 'The Manufactured Thrill' is now on sale at Waterstones, bravely trying to bridge the gap between Pam Ayres and Samuel Becket.

Had one of the best days of my life on Saturday at Hastings Book Festival. I opened the Book Fair at 11am with a poem introducing all 30 stallholders, then later won the Open Mic night hosted by Henry Normal, with the audience voting me the winner over 19 other great performers.
