My documentary Carisbrooke Castle was broadcast on SKY TV. Three of my other fourteen travel films were shown on Australian television. I have written three children's stories, three staged plays, scenic travel features, theatre reviews, award-winning poetry, personality profiles and three novels—and I teach. I gave workshops alongside Sir Andrew Motion at the Tennyson Bicentenary and have taught for Screen South, Connexions, Isle of Wight College, independently, and with young people with learning difficulties.

Atmosphere Press was an ideal fit for me. I have gone the traditional publishing route and found that process unnecessarily complex. Atmosphere Press provides everything I need to publish quality stories in a way that allows me to focus on my writing.

I started writing when I was seven or eight years old. I'd always enjoyed reading, and I always had my own story ideas tumbling around my head. For years, I wrote short stories but put writing aside to focus on music as a young adult. Later, I rediscovered my love of reading and writing, steering me onto my path as an author.

While the book will reflect my understanding of good and evil and my general fatalism, it's meant as a fun, escpaist read for people who find fart jokes and the end of the world cathartic.

Although the book is pure fiction, a key motivator for writing it was the prospect of helping anyone in a current or past traumatic relationship where psychological abuse and control are, or were, all too real. In those situations, “why” is perhaps the one question that remains unexplained.
