I was born in Croydon, England but grew up in Barbados. As an only child I quickly learned to use my imagination to amuse myself. When I was seventeen we returned to England. The fast pace of life in London was exciting, the shops fabulous, the cold - not so good. Although I did not like the cold and never will, I did like the changing seasons. In summer I love the long evenings but equally in winter I love the long nights. Spring means 'goodbye cold' while the glorious colours of autumn are inspiring. I have always loved the classics but uni in the 90's sparked an interest in poetry. I joined a poetry society and it was the positive comments from fellow members that encouraged me to submit work to poetry publications. I have had poems appear in 'Decanto', 'Time Haiku', 'Poetic Licence', 'Candelabrum', 'Krax' and 'Poetry Now' to name a few. As a writer I draw on my experience but my main inspiration is nature. Having said that anything can grab my imagination, for example, a moment between two characters in my favourite TV show 'The 100' sparked a poem. I am currently working on my third book.
