: About Me

Since about the age of eleven I have wanted to write. Now I'm getting around to it. Helium is a place where I can feel it's ok to experiment and motivate myself to write...anything! I live in the South West of England with my wife and various animals. I consider myself a free-thinking Christian. Others would call me a heretic. I like pizza, the sea-side and a quiet life.

My passion is ...

finding life here and now.

I know too much about ...

being a "good Christian".

My parents always told me ...

"we'll see".

My childhood ambition ...

to be a novelist.

My favorite memory ...

our holidays in the South of Devon.

Why I write ...

to help others see the greater depths of life.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

reading character based fiction, watching Top Gear and The Apprentice, listening to guys in their forties and still making music.

My first job ...

cooking burgers and mixing batter in a fish and chip shop.

My best moment ...

playing a pantomime dame in a Christmas nativity play.

My inspiration ...

the unseen.
