I just wanted to write a very brief post to honour this great poet. He had a real way with words and people. I have at least one of his books and was fortunate enough to see him on stage at the Cheltenham Literature Festival a few years ago. His death really shook me up, both the suddenness of it – he was only ill a matter of weeks – and the fact that he was a few months younger than me. A certain reminder of my mortality. Like him, we need to make every day count. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
I qualified as a journalist in 2002 and after a period working as a freelance for Gloucester Media writing advertorials, interviews, articles and press releases I have gone on to write for lots of magazines and newspapers, both local and national. I write regularly for the Writers and Readers magazine but have also written for CPO's Inspire, the New Writer, Classic Ford, and Take a Break's My Favourite Recipes among many others. I published my first full-length historical novel. Waireka in 2018 and my romantic novella, Alpha Male in 2016. Both can be found on Amazon. Please follow the links on my book page.
