About Me

I am a writer.
I like discovery.
I work hard.
I have been published by Northern publishers EK Zuban participating in various creative endeavours including a poetry anthology, 'The Wilds' (October 2007) , available nationwide in BORDERS stores. I'm also featured in Kenaz Creative Arts magazine (Summer 2005) in association with Teesside University, and the Arts Council.
I have developed a website, 'Sisters of Revolution' it's an online community specifically for female musicians. It's used for networking and is seen as an up to date informative resource for those interested in the riot grrrl / electro trash music genre(s). Sisters of Revolution has a monthly radio show on 9th Floor Radio in Oakland, CA USA. The Show airs the 2nd Friday of every month.
Details of the MAY SHOW coming soon.
If you miss a live stream you can download the show(s) from the SOR blog page @ 9th Floor Radio CLICK HERE!


Dusty Rose made this collage for Sisters of Revolution. Isn't it pretty!
