I grew up, was educated and have worked in the Waveney Valley area all my life.
In 2006 I started my doctorate. My thesis: Under the Flamboyant Tree: an exploration of learning was based on the experience of ten people (myself included) who visited South Africa in 2007. I wanted the reader to experience what we had seen and felt. So, as part of the doctorate, I produced some short pieces of creative non-fiction which you can find through the link below.
The doctorate gave me the confidence to write books. I created a fictional Suffolk village called Minefield and the stories are about the people who live there. I have also written a children’s book and a poem for Advent.
I have always sung. Usually in the shower but often with choirs. At the grand old age of 55 I decided I should start to grow old disgracefully and do more of the things I love. I put out an SoS locally which led to the launch of Station 366 and with it the idea of helping others to realise their dreams through practice and performance in a safe space.
