My earliest writing work was a little story about the adventures of me and my cat (fully illustrated). The next notable literary work from my brain was an epic humorous poem about the ten plagues. I sold copies to friends at school. Next was a phase of horrendously teenage-drama-laced short stories, written over several years.

I still wrote on and off through my twenties, then put a lot of work into learning to be a good writer in between full time caring duties. In the year I turned forty I started studying, and writing became something I did as part of my academic career. I continue to write for this purpose.
