Ballet dancer, Vet, Fighter Pilot, Writer
First of all when I was about 5 I wanted to be a ballet dancer, but I grew too tall (and I was crap at dancing too).

Then when I got a bit older I wanted to be a vet but I wasn’t much good at chemistry – however, funnily enough I did spent the last few years living on a farm and discovered I am actually very good with farm animals, and would have made a good vet….
Sort of a shame that I left the farmer I suppose….


Then I wanted to fly fighter planes for either the RAF or the USAF – I even applied to both but the RAF wouldn’t take me for flying due to the fact I’m short-sighted and no good at physics….

It took me until I was well into my twenties to give up on the idea….
or was it just the uniform I was into….?


Then I thought I’d like to be a journalist as I loved writing stories at school, but someone told me I’d have to do Latin and I gave that up after a year so my dreams of journalism went up in smoke…sort of…
I now get paid to write a column in a magazine and I’m writing my first novel….it just took me a hell of a round about way to get here…..
