About me

Welcome to my little part of the internet.

I am a gay 50 year old writer, author, lecturer, scriptwriter, venue manager, and theatre director.

I am (in 2026) about to complete a Master’s Degree in Creative Writing. I have a first class honours BA in Literature, English Language, and Creative writing. And I’m a qualified TESOL/TEFL lecturer.

My pastimes, as you will discover on this site, include movies, books, and games. I’m also very passionate about politics and other subjects that I may be able to offer an alternative insight to.

My great love though is spending time with my partner and our idiot Labrador and our two nagging cats as we navigate our little family through life.
