Profile

"I was born and grew up in Middlesex in 1983. My Dad had a big imagination and use to tell me adventurous stories and poems to make me sleep when I was little. So I started to write my own at a young age, to see what he thought. But it was only for fun and never took it serious.

It was only a few years ago when I sadly lost my father that I decided to do more to keep busy and I started to write again. Finally entering my poems into competitions. This has evolved to me writing more. I had even tried writing music lyrics after carefully listening to the words of Eminem. I am now interested in writing my own novel. My mother has been a book worm all her life, reading Stephen King and Dean Koontz this always made her the best person to proof reading my work, and inspire me to strive for more.

I try to make each poem different, thinking of various styles and topics. I find they are all personal to me but what others might have also experienced. I enjoy writing these and hope readers enjoy them just a much."
