The non-professional stuff...
I’ve written a couple of novels and several albums of music in my spare time. I write fast in both senses (which is good news for you if you are interested in my services) and take a huge amount of pleasure just creating. I like things finessed and finished too - no half jobs. 

I also love swimming, walks with my fiancé, travelling, occasional picture-painting, cryptic crosswords, pretentious films, meals out with friends and family and being ruled over by my pet cat.

I am currently teaching myself to play the cello and violin. Last time I checked, I was still reasonably  well-regarded by my neighbours in the adjoining house.
