About
Originally from Sunderland on England’s North East coast, I moved to London with the aim of writing professionally as it’s the only way I can envisage myself when I finally decide to be a grown up. As far as writing is concerned, I have published 16 short stories, and written two shorts, the second of which premiered at the YouTube Mobile Film Festival in December 2019. I also self published my own collection of short stories on Amazon called Flashes of Innocence. In my writing, I try and put across a strong sense of identity in my characters with settings that take on a life of their own to help inform the story and reinforce my core themes.

The Town That Was Murdered, When poverty and inequality became the way of life in the town of Jarrow, a group of 200 men decided enough was enough and, led by their charismatic local MP Ellen Wilkinson, they marched the long road to London to argue their plight directly to the Prime Minister himself, only to be turned away at the final hurdle.
