I live in north Wales. I have been writing at various points in my life since I was in my teens. My work is influenced by issues of social justice and events, places and people I has known or imagined. I am especially interested in exploring the boundaries of dream, fantasy and reality.

These vassals

And still the rain fell
so we stayed a while

We create so many masks
so many masks to hide behind,
to hide our faces
to hide ourselves.Recovering My Dreams
One day I might recover them
and live that perfect life
which lies inside my head.A Disappointing Day
If she hadn’t remembered
the scent from before.
There would have beenno screams, no stamping
up and down on the trolley.
