I honestly think it's just something I've always done. When I was 8 or 9 I would write stories to take into school and the teacher would ask me to read them out to the class. They were usually attempts at humour which made the class laugh, so that reaction certainly helped me to keep on writing. I've always felt I had stories to tell, not so much deep and meaningful as (hopefully) entertaining.

My most recent publication is the revised and extended version of Eyes Of The Raven. It's a detective story which develops into a story of witchcraft and horror. It's set in Cheshire, England, as are several of my stories, and follows the investigation into a number of serial killings with possible connections to witchcraft.
