Biography

Finding the first line to anything is the most difficult. Where is this place called inspiration? Then by chance stumbling across it while staring at a blank piece of paper. Being a member of Stockport Write Out Loud gives me the valuable support of personal friendship, that bonds strong positive energy, helping to produce a higher level of enjoyment to my writing. The more pleasure that a poem brings - - - the more I want to write.

Thank you Nigel for your constant motivation. Your uplifting words helped me when I was completely shaken and broken by the storms of ugliness that spread around me. I lived the worst nightmare of my life and thankfully survived it all by the Grace of God almighty. Thank you so much for your kind words. 🌷

Hiya Nigel Thanks for sending in the audio of 'who's knocking at the door' I really enjoyed it and it was fab that you read it ☺ I emailed your son about it instead of you by mistake. I was away and needed to reformat your audio file.

Anyway we'll broadcast it this Sunday on Allfm.org after 3pm 🎉
