About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Peacefull evening - Image Hosting


I was born in Singapore in 1958. My parents were posted there as part of the British Royal Navy.
I act and sing with a musical theatre group - Pied Pipers - in Cambridge, where I now live.
I am a rabidly fanatical Ice Hockey fan, Vancouver Canucks are my team. If I could choose one place in the world I would like to live it would be Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. However, circumstances being what they are that's pretty unlikely to ever happen, unless I get a novel published and film rights sold (wishing and hoping) or win the lottery.
I am working at my writing; have a play and several short stories out there making the rounds of producers and publishers, but so far no takers - lots of interested noises but no one ready to take me on yet.
I'm interested in people (hello, writer!) and what makes them tick, love travelling - but don't get to do enough of it at present
I am married (have been for 30 years now) and have one daughter (29) who is a journalist.
I have eclectic tastes in film and music as you will see.

I am a freelance writer - but I still have a day job too. I have been a Nurse, a Teacher, and a Chef. However, I've just started another incarnation in health administration.(See what I mean about the butterfly thing?)
I have two Degrees in a)Combined and General Arts (History, English Literature, Economics, Philosophy, Art History, History of Music, Pshychology, Sociology and Classics)
- b) Education
and two Postgrad Diplomas in a) European Humanities - b)Classical Studies (Ancient Greek and Latin)
But...It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing! :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Other writers, fellow actors, singers, and like minded people - heck I just like meeting people.
