I'm a UK-based part-time freelance writer and have a passion for writing on a variety of topics.

I write and edit my own section on religious intolerance at suite101.com and am a regular contributor to football website Eat Football. More recently I have written work-based articles at Moan About Work and have also contributed to regional magazine Lancashire Life.

Most of my writing concentrates on articles and short pieces, with previous and occasional work including short stories, research papers and two non-fiction books.
I like sharing knowledge, learning new information and don't mind the odd bit of controversy.

Currently a secondary school Religious Education teacher by day, writing is a form of relaxation as well a hobby.

I am also a preacher at my local church, Lumb Baptist Church. (www.lumbbaptist.co.uk)

I'm married to Helen and have a 2-year-old son (Sam) and young dog (Bessie).

PHYSICAL DISTRACTIONS

The problem with driving while using a hand-held phone is that it leaves only one hand free to be on the steering wheel. While some people like to drive with only one hand on the wheel, at least they would have their other hand available in an emergency. If they've got a mobile phone in it, that obv...
