About ME
For more than forty years, I have been writing stories, songs, plays and educational materials for audiences around the world.
Best known for my widely-used English language teaching publications, my work has always extended beyond the classroom. My interests in theatre, music and storytelling have led to a diverse body of creative work that includes novels, sketches, songs and stage productions.
Today, my writing continues through fiction, blogging and new creative projects, including my novels The Duke’s Portrait and King and Country.
This website is a home for that work, bringing together books, creative writing, theatre, music and selected material from throughout my career.
