I was born an odd shade
of yellow on 26 December 1976 in the Buchanan Hospital,
Hastings. Once the jaundice had cleared
 up
I was raised and schooled in the seaside town without too many
major medical dramas.After working for a year in a dead-end job I moved to the south of France for a year of sunshine and pontificating, which resulted in my enrolling on a two year BTEC Media Studies course in Manchester, which was jolly good fun and gave me an interest in all things media...which led straight onto a degree course in Radio, Film and Television Studies at Canterbury Christ Church University. Three years later I graduated with a II:I. I then set about writing my first factual book, 'Hastings at War', which was published by Phillimore & Co in May 2005. A follow up book, 'Hastings Wartime Memories and Photographs' was published by Phillimore & Co in November 2008. I currently live in a small Kentish village whilst studying for an MA in Creative Writing and working on various fiction pieces.
