I don't belong...

I am a writer. It's what I do.
I observe,
I feel,
I experience,
I record.

----------------------------------------

I am a published poet and prose writer with a BA Joint Honours Degree in Drama and English from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. I am working on several literary projects including a concept novel and a collection of poetry, both of which I hope to have published some time soon. My work is a sharp critique of society, holding up a mirror to the life which we live (the beauty and the ugliness of it) as well as an emotional communication with the world and its more natural nuances.

The tools of my trade are MS Word, a dog-eared copy of the Oxford Pocket Thesaurus, a battered and bruised Collins Dictionary and Thesaurus, a rather shabby-looking Oxford Dictionary and a crispy brand new Roget’s Thesaurus which I have not long acquired. An extensive library and a few years of life experiences are also at hand to assist me in my endeavours.
