Care worker, writer, memester, autist, dissenter.

I like people who not only think outside the box, but reshape the box into something else!

I've been writing since I was 10.  It's my sanctuary - though the structure often needs maintenance.  Over the last twenty or so years, I've won some writing prizes for short fiction, poetry and playwriting.  In 2013, I published my first novel, 'In the Day'.  Looking at it now, I can see all sorts of things I would change - but I suppose that shows progress.  I also have a collection of short fiction, 'Sacred Shirts', which was published in 2024.

In 2015, at the grand age of 56, I was finally diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Condition (Asperger's).  I live alone with my cat, Daisy, and lots of books.

Work is the Curse of the Drinking Classes...

Sure, I've had a few jobs. Too many to count. Some I got fired from, some I left. Some I didn't even start. I get bored easily, anyway. It never pays...

My Heart is in Havana...

...as any sane person's would be. My brain, too. Good heat all day. Cuba Libres in a shaded bar. Fine, earthy, thigh-rolled Coronas to smoke on...
