I write because I like making up stories. If my tales make other people happy then I am happy.
Of course it would be nice to make some money although I’m not convinced I’d like to be famous. I like to be able to pop to the chippy without any one giving me a second glance, especially if I’m wearing old tat and slippers.

As a child I wanted to have a proper book out there with my name on the cover. It was one of my goals in life. I had three, goals that is, – four if you count the dog.
- I wanted to be a teacher, which I was for forty years. I wasn’t sure what age group I wanted to teach and ended up in special education and taught the whole range from 2 to adult.

2. I wanted a child, not so bothered about getting married but I did that anyway. I was lucky enough to have a girl and a boy
3, I wanted to write a book worth publishing.










4. …and own a dog.
I’ve achieved all of them …
… now I need three more.
