I'm a freelance writer and author, tech enthusiast and wildife nut. Originally from the North Wales coast, I studied Marine Biology at the University of Liverpool before travelling extensively and eventually settling on the stunning West Cork coast in Ireland. As well as my own writing I work with select business clients to improve the performance of their online content.
I wrote "Empire", a 160,000 word fantasy novel, mostly on a Psion Series 3 handheld computer whilst travelling through Southeast Asia, Australia and The Americas
