Interests

My personal interests include writing, comedy, dogs, theatre, literature and swimming. I have previously written short comedy sketches for local theatre groups and have established a script-writing group in Norwich. I am currently writing my first novel and when I'm not doing that I will be spending time with my family and my three dogs in the Norfolk countryside. I also love water sports and boating on the Broads.
