I am an active person who enjoys being outdoors. I ride, walk and explore the English countryside I have been writing all my life.. I currently teach 14-16 year olds Previous to this I taught young people who had been excluded from mainstream education. I find the company of young people, their language and the secret worlds they all, to some extent, think they inhabit, completely fascinating, touching and sometimes frightening.. I have written two books and am currently working on a third.
