About Me

Born in Leeds, United Kingdom, in the February following the Summer of Love.I began writing poetry in my early teens initially as a means of personal therapy in the midst of adolescent turmoil.After many an infatuation and broken heart, I finally found happiness with a fun, lively and caring Irish woman with whom I now share my life with our two young children, Blaise and Rosie.From the age of 15 up until a few years ago I was heavily involved in Liberal politics. I refused, however, to join the Liberal Democrats whan they were formed in 1988 and chose instead to sign up to the continuing Liberal Party when it was re-formed the following year. For this party, I stood for parliament on 4 occasions.
