My Writings

I love writing poetry when I am inspired. The big moments in life as much as the small moments inspire me. I have included a sample of my writing below. Some of the poems are quite old and may not reflect where I am now. However, they are a part of me, in that they are representative of a time in my life.
Over recent years, my writing activities have expanded to include commissions of personalised sentiments for memorials and special occasions. Whilst these occasions have been mainly sad, I accept commissions for happy occasions too! Since the start of 2020, I have been mainly focusing on my writing.
To commission a piece of writing, simply email a brief description of what you are looking for and we will go from there. My book “The Circle” is available to buy online.
My poetry in this book presents a twenty-five year journey through good days and bad. You can buy “The Circle” in paperback or eBook.
