	I'm a founder member of DSW, and write scripts for film and theatre. My first screenplay, a short film called Pick and Mix, was selected by TAPS (Training and Performance Showcase) in 1999 for their Writers' Showcase, and another script, Crossing Over, was chosen by TAPS for development in 2001.
2002 also saw a short play, Innocence and Experience, staged at Derby Playhouse's studio theatre. In 2004 I completed a film course run by the Mediaworks Trust, which resulted in a short film, I Told You, being made and screened at Derby's Metro Cinema. In the last couple of years I've written comedy sketches for local youth productions and would like to do comedy for radio and/or TV (wouldn't we all?).
I am currently working on both a short and a feature-length screenplay, both with supernatural themes, and dearly hoping someone might film them one day!
I've been writing seriously since around the time I joined DSW, though I had been tinkering with it for some years before really knuckling down. I tend to focus on supernatural stories with a psychological bias, and would love to have a go at historical drama.
I also write poetry and take part in local poetry readings. I've had short stories and Morning Thoughts broadcast on local radio.
