About the Author
I was born in 1965 and lived in Chesterfield, Derbyshire until I was 19 years old. I moved to Sheffield, South Yorkshire, in the 1980’s. Growing up surrounded by such beautiful rolling countryside has definitely inspired my writing.
I started writing poetry many years ago, often keeping ideas, words, and verses penned in the backs of diaries, journals, scribbled on envelopes, bits of paper and even stored on my mobile phone.
I work as a British Sign Language Interpreter which feeds my passion for language. Interpreting is more than a job, it is a vocation.
My work is based on my personal experiences from my weird and wonderful life; my mother used to joke that my life story would make a best-selling trilogy for Catherine Cookson, and even then it would be considered too unbelievable.
