So what is your story?

Words are a big part of my household. My partner is a singer song writer and I am often sticking my nose in with a helpful (??) word or two. I have a nine year old son and am amazed at what kids his age are writing and comprehending today.

My paid writing work is limited to a bit of copy here and there while my  leisure writing suffers from consistency. You are not a writer unless you write - every day. I am not a writer!

I enjoy the flow of words, the silliness of them and one day I would love to be good at it and for words to flow effortlessly into the several projects I have on the go at the moment.

Some of my current projects 

To the Moon Alice. Novel

Van Dreaminland. Screenplay

A liquorice all sort collection of four couples and a single school teacher are driving themselves around Australia in search of the retirement dream. They end up at a caravan park in the Kimberley of WA and are forced to confront truths that had been buried deep in the stillness of their ordinary lives.

Retirement - It's not all Beer and Skittles. Documentary

Delves into the impact of retirement on men and their propensity to slip into social isolation and detachment.
