My Little Book of Poetry

A selection of my poetry and short verse collected over the years; some happy, some funny, some soppy and sentimental, some inspiring and uplifting, and some just plain silly!
A few are also written taken from the view of my disability; Multiple sclerosis.


Born in Cheltenham in 1968, I moved to Bristol when I was three months old.
After leaving home aged eighteen, I had several different jobs and lived in various shared houses and flats. In 1987 I was an au-pair in New York for a year. I returned and bought my first house and worked as manager for a pizza franchise. I moved around, never settling; travelling whilst writing bits and bobs.
Since being diagnosed with MS in 1994, I have had various voluntary jobs, mainly in charity shops - the closest thing to my love of working with the general public.
I continue my love of travel and writing and combined the two when I wrote my first book in 2011 about my travels to Rhodes.

Currently single, I live in an accessible bungalow in Bristol.
