About me
Born on the not-so-mean streets of rural North Yorkshire, UK. I’ve lived and worked in Japan, France and Vietnam.
I graduated with first-class honours in English Literature from Leeds Beckett University which was followed by an M.A, also in English Literature, from the University of Leeds.
I’ve recently returned from a year-and-a-half stint working as a staff writer for a magazine in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The best thing about writing for a living is that you never know where it might take you next.
