An eclectic mix of poetry inspired by a very strange year. Published April 2021 At the beginning of 2020 I set myself the task of writing a poem everyday ... Little did anyone realise just what a strange year it would turn out to be. I also rekindled a love of drawing during lockdown and so have included some of my artwork.

The journey of a remarkable end … as told through his eyes. A 15yr old collie found comatose in a wood, underweight and covered in frozen mud.

This is my first full length novel ...
Book Blurb ... Our lives are simply a series of memories, and stories, plus recollections prompted by photographic images, music and places and the interpretations we place on each. In reality we cannot change anything, we cannot undo wrongs or make the bad things go away … but what we can do is rewrite our story to help give it meaning. This is my journey, well sort of … it is mostly about me, well some of it is. It is about people and places around me, the people I know, the people I do not yet know, the people I will never know and the me I am supposed to have been. It’s about skeletons in closets, hidden secrets and hints of revenge. Most of it is true, well some of it is … but then again, maybe none of it is. Available from Amazon (Click HERE) |

Well, that’s the plan anyway.
Furry Fails is all about the ones that arrived as a foster dog … and never left.
