A career in primary Education has paid the bills and had its moments, but  i won a local short story competition when i was 7 and I've written ever since, because it's a passion. Music is also a passion, I love rock music and support a local band whose lead guitarist will be huge. Did a bit of freelance script-writing work for a company in Singapore in the 1990s. Five years time? Touring the world with the band and writing the next in a series of commissioned novels. Please.
