about me
/ABOUT ME
I was born and grew up in Yorkshire and this is reflected in my writing, although I have lived most of my life in western Canada. Educated in England, and a graduate of St Katherine’s College, my career has focused on education and administration, mostly working with and for people with handicaps. For almost 20 years I was Director of Volunteers in large institutions and played a significant role in the closure of two of these.
My avocation, however, has always been writing. I have written several historical novels as well as non-fiction books and articles. I am an award-winning poet and short story writer and I review books for the Historical Novel Society. My current project is writing a twice-monthly Substack feature to encourage writers of memoir.
