Whether you've stumbled inadvertently upon this site, or you've been gently cajoled into visiting - welcome, my huckleberry friend.

I'm a freelance writer, and also work as a publishing editor. I write books and feature articles on football, film, and other stuff that takes my fancy. On this site you'll find information about my books and examples of my writing. You can reach me via email. Hope you enjoy.
