Welcome to my writing world.
I am a writer and shopkeeper, living in York, UK. I recently completed my first novel, Casting Long Shadows, which has been twenty years in the writing.
I will be adding more writing to this site very soon.

Did You Think of Me?
This is another interpretation of my story 'Goodbye'. My friend and Leeford Village co-writer, Michael Braccia turned it into a song and we recorded it in early 2020.
Here is the song!
Written by Michael Braccia
Produced and engineered by Bruford Low

Goodbye
I wrote Goodbye after watching an episode of the BBC's Long Lost Family. Patricia Jones, (whose acting credits include Grange Hill, Byker Grove, Emmerdale, Coronation Street and many theatrical performances), interpreted and performed the piece.
