I am here because I believe that I can make a positive difference with my writing. There’s only one way to find out. Thanks for giving me a go.

I don’t make any claim to originality or special knowledge. I only share my soul with the hope that it will help others, as experiencing others’ souls has helped me. Thank you to everyone who has made a piece of writing or a work of art with the dream of making the world a better place.

This is the work of my life that I am most proud of. It has brought me joy even as the tears streamed.

Did anyone else watch that movie and think ‘good idea’? If something you have read here has helped you, please pay it forward - find some emotional, physical or financial contribution you can make to pass it on. Community matters, mutual aid keeps us all alive.

WARNINGS

There are themes in my work that people may find distressing, including physical, sexual and emotional violence, explicit sexual content, child abuse, religion, racism, sexism, colonialism and capitalism. Suicidal ideation is a common thread running through much of my work, and given my own experience I can imagine that it might be triggering for some. If that’s you, I’m giving you a big virtual hug and letting you know I’m here to chat.
