Welcome to 2015 - the site is online and already evolving

I've been working on a few literary projects over the last few years with the intention of releasing them out into the wild at some point and, although the last year has been really tough and has slowed me down by some considerable margin; my first collection of Poetry was published (by myself) on 1st January 2015!

I have been writing for so long and I had never thought to do anything with the result, although I'd occasionally give a poem (or a small collection of the same) to the people they were written for. 

But never to strangers, never to those I did not know.

Now I am doing just that, and I realise how 'big' a thing it is - to put into the hands of strangers ones inner thoughts and feelings, made real and tangible in black and white. Scary. And exhilarating.

Now they've been collated, formatted and printed, I just hope I can sell a few!

This site is here to help people make up their minds if they'd like to buy some of my thoughts ("Thoughts for sale! Get 'em while they're fresh! Thoughts for sale! They're luvverly!") or stories or even some of my photographs. And then there is poetry set to music in the form of UnderTow, my long time collaboration with Keith Melhuish.

There is a fair amount here to look at and even something to buy if you'd like, so have a browse and see what you think. I hope you'll enjoy your stay.
