Hello and welcome to my site.
I have been writing professionally since 1976. Prior to that I was an
actor, theatre director and stage manager, though I trained as a journalist.
My writing work here is listed under drama. I have been the recipient
of four writing awards and a nominee for another two – the principal
attraction of these being a decent lunch and a half-chilled bottle
of  Chardonnay
but hey, writers need all the perks they can get.
I’ve
also taught at a number of universities and run drama workshops all
over the country. For many years I specialised with youth theatres
attached to professional stage companies. More recently these theatre
based workshops have metamorphosed into something that serves a wider
audience devoted to exploring human potential and personal development,
though still using drama and storytelling as some of the tools. If expressing
what we feel is a fundamental need of the human psyche then it follows
that communicating this well is axiomatic. Enabling people to do
this is a passion. I am deeply interested and have some formal training
in psycho-therapy and transpersonal psychology and the world of quantum
physics and metaphysics fascinates me. I am a great advocate of meditation
and fine, lovingly-brewed ales which - contrary to some received
opinion - are not mutually exclusive.
