Here's a bit about me and Shire Writing

Before becoming a writer and establishing Shire Writing, I was a manager in a large multi-national. Being part of the management team, I was responsible for over £20 million of production per year. Despite the stress, manufacturing was exciting and provided a buzz, but when an opportunity to change my life appeared, I grabbed it with both hands.

I am in my mid-fifties, happily married and live with my wife Terry Anne in Staffordshire.

Being a writer I also love writing fiction. Winning a writing competition inspired me to take on longer works and I have a novel that is nearing completion.I also have a book about angling that was published through Shire Writing in October 2009. I am currently working on a book about how to became a freelance writer which also gives an insight into the world of self-publishing. I am expecting to publish the book in the spring of 2010. Please Click on books for more details.

My hobbies include, gardening and photography Some of my Stock Photos. I'm also a keen artist. I love painting trees and doing pen and ink sketches of a variety of subjects.

With regards to writing, I have provided

Copy and adverts etc, for many magazines and publications

Content and photos for a number of websites

Research for those with special requirements

I have also written and self-published 2 books.

No matter how diverse your writing needs, I'm always pleased to help.
