 I am a freelance writer, working in the South West of England, with around 1000 printed articles to my credit.
I write on a wide variety of subjects, from local history, music, news and food to gay issues (I edit the gay and lesbian section for a local weekly magazine and contribute news stories to several L&G websites). I also have a regular food column, concentrating on locally-sourced, organic and GM-free produce in The Spark, a publication dedicated to ethical, fairtrade, eco-friendly and self-development isues.
A few biographical details: I was born in 1964, and live with my partner, three cats and our dog in the heart of the West Country. An early interest in music led me to work for several years in the record trade and perform in a moderately successful band for a while.
Since 1995 I have written for a variety of print magazines, most notably Venue, Folio, The Bath Magazine, and The Spark. I also contribute to the American publication A Bear's Life, the first magazine of its kind to explore and celebrate the rapidly expanding Bear phenomenon.
I have written for several newspapers, including The Bath Chronicle, the Bristol Evening Post, the Western Daily Press and the Wiltshire Chronicle, and have contributed to many different web sites, including www.optimisimsflames.com, www.venue.co.uk, www.somethingandnothing.net, www.pridewest.co.uk, www.queerbristol.com and www.chalkhills.org
