About me

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).

It can help them feel more presentable and give them a special glow, hide spots and blemishes and give our ladies that confidence that getting up first thing in the morning and rushing out of the house just can't compete with.

But for me, make-up not only hides that weary look but can also create a false look which hides the rea...
