BACKGROUND

The profession of book-writing makes horse racing seem like a solid, stable business.
John Steinbeck

I am a writer, information designer and creative consultant. I live in a village in Oxfordshire, UK, called Eynsham. I have been a professional writer for an annoyingly long time (about 20 years).

For much of that time I worked as actor/writer for Ambush Theatre Company, then as Director of Communications with the Oasis Trust. In Feb. 1996, I returned to freelance writing. So far I'm still managing to buy food, although come winter we may have to start putting the chairs on the fire...

More about my writing here.

I am the author of over 20 books, including Church Invisible, The Bible Book, Lord Minimus and The Tabloid Bible. I write regularly for magazines such as Youthwork and Christianity as well as working for a number of charities and NGOs. I design and structure websites, offer training in creativity and idea generation and work with a number of marketing and design companies. Recently I have done a lot of information design and writing for organisations and trusts in the criminal justice sector.

I am married to Claire and we have three daughters called Lily, Madeleine and Martha. My hobbies include book collecting, cooking, living in the sixties and using the word 'oblong'. I support Watford Football Club, but someone has to.
