I have been writing since 2016 when a change in my career and home life presented a blank canvas moment. My background is acting, but not for over twenty years now. When I reached this crossroads I asked myself if I wanted to return to acting. When the answer came back ‘no’ I was somewhat surprised! The latent creative itch was keeping me up- if not acting, then what?

I wrote a story and began a journey as a novelist in which I learnt lots, had a great time and realised that, although I’d been told I’d written a compelling story (Through The Eyes), I wasn’t quite up to the task of turning it into a polished novel.

It was at this point I decided, almost on a whim, to adapt my manuscript into a screenplay. This is when everything fit.

I’ve been fascinated by film since I first discovered it on the TV as a six year old. I knew I was watching something different from the live black and white fare aimed at pre-school children. This was considered, carefully put together and of another kind altogether. I not only lapped up the worlds created for me but began to appraise and critique the film making process; the lighting, the camera angles and the stories and scripts.

Mine is not an encyclopaedic knowledge of cinema, but an innate, organic understanding. I tend to see the world visually, almost cinematically.

My interest is in ghost stories and the horror genre generally. I have written a pitch black comedy for TV, a TV pilot for a scientific ghost hunting series and several feature length screenplays contained within the broad church that is ‘horror’. Why? I grew up in an infamously haunted village but never saw a single ghost (they appeared to me in nightmares instead.)

I think I’m making up for that missing experience.
