CURRENT MISSION

To stay happy, healthy and write a bestselling novel.

ABOUT ME

I'm a curious, witty British man who loves to have new experiences and meet new people. I enjoy writing in my spare time, going to the movies (my favourite film is Stand By Me), reading, road trips, walking/hiking in the countryside.

I'm an easy-going but also very passionate, motivated person who tries to get along with everyone, have opinions where necessary and I write children's books and TV scripts for the BBC, Doctor Who, Macmillan, Harpercollins, Nickelodeon and Paramount. I enjoy reading, eating and doing geeky stuff.

I lived and worked in California for a year in 2010 (in LA, Mendocino, Sacramento and other places) and am currently working as a tour guide at the Jane Austen Centre in the beautiful British city of Bath.
