Details

Over the decades I've been a teacher, a vicar and a business consultant, so I'm no stranger to public speaking across all age groups and backgrounds, from small groups of 2 or 3 to several hundred. I'm a trained facilitator, so I'm used to drawing people out. And with a background as a freelance radio interviewer I'm also comfortable and successful live online.

I love what I do and I love encouraging and inspiring others. Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "Most people die with their best music inside them." What a tragedy. So if I can help even a few people discover and release their writing and creative gifts, I'm content.

I would love to work with your group in any way I can help: let's have a brief chat to explore...

A FEW QUOTES...

A Fair Cop

When Catherine de Barnes – Catney - finds Much Slaughter’s retired policeman draped over a motorbike, three knives in his back, she and her pooch Daggers face a frantic race to save an innocent villager from jail. But a grumpy police officer, a fledgling chocolate business and a romantic midnight dance threaten to distract her… The familiar villagers from The Taste of Murder return in glorious technicolour, along with an eccentric retired RAF officer with a moustache the size of aeroplane wings, a vet who paints a road tunnel on his garage door and a coffee shop owner with a chequered reputation. Then there’s the rather dishy doctor… and a whole host of others. Will Catney be lured away by the many distractions as she seeks to track down the killer? After The Taste of Murder, this book takes us well and truly into The Cotswolds Capers series. Look out for Mass Murder, coming soon.
