The aim of this site is to inform and entertain my visitors, for readers to be able to identify with my musings on life and to provide useful writing links and invaluable resources for other budding and talented authors!
I live with my partner, our daughter Lauren and an interesting assortment of plants and work from a small home office on a variety of projects from magazine articles, features and columns to web site copy, TV comedy sketches, book editing and non-fiction books. All this between consuming large quantities of chocolate and thinking about creative ways of burning off all the calories.
I am also an experienced copywriter and editor and have produced the text for many web sites, in addition to writing corporate sales', marketing and technical documentation and editing books for authors.
My aim is to inform, to entertain and to brighten the day of those who could benefit from a really good laugh. If you can make just one person smile or laugh today, it has been a successful day.
Thank you for viewing my site and I hope you enjoy your visit.

Featured Book
Synopsis
Fertility is the major area of concern for women over 40 seeking to become pregnant, not least because of the abundance of negative statistics that serve only to cause unnecessary anxiety and decreasing hope. The truth is that may women have the ability to conceive naturally well into their forties and to give birth to perfectly healthy babies.
This book aims to help you maximise your chances of conceiving after the age of 40, by considering all aspects of health and natural therapies to enhance fertility, in addition to providing information on chemicals and environmental factors that may contribute towards infertility.
The chapters of this book include: Recognising Signs of Fertility, Diet and Nutrition, The Mind-Body Connection, Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements, Ayurveda for Fertility, Acupuncture for Fertility, Reflexology for Fertility, Aromatherapy for Fertility, Chemicals, Environment and Fertility, DHEA and Fertility, Feng Shui for Fertility, Astrology and Lunar Fertility, Progesterone and Fertility, How Light and Dark Affects Fertility, Legends, Myths, Symbols and Old Wives' Tales, Fertility Spells and Rituals, Exercise and Fertility, Lifestyle, The Male Factor, Chiropractic Treatment and Fertility and Early Pregnancy Signs and Symptoms (with real experiences from real women).
A reviewer writes:
“What a breath of fresh air this book is for those of us who have been written off by the medical profession. The author takes reproduces invaluable medical information in a form that is easy to follow and put into practice. It covers so many aspects that I hadn’t even considered when trying to maximise my chances of conception. I would highly recommend this book to any older couple wishing to start or increase a family.”
