About the Human
I've been a writer since I could hold a pen. Here, you will see my first print book, Elliot the Cat. Words and pictures all my own. It had a print run of one and was very well received by my mother.
I went on to study Creative Writing at university where I had three more published stories – proper ones this time, not written in crayon.

It was around this time I realised I was a pedant. It can't be helped – but it can be put to use. So I became a copy-editor. Now I get paid to point out missing apostrophes instead of just losing friends over it. Every cloud, eh?
