I have been an avid writer for more than thirty years. Exercising my creative muscles is more than a hobby, it is a passion that, at times, borders on obsession. In 2019 I received a diagnosis of autism and ADHD. This was undoubtedly a shock but, rather than viewing my neurodiversity as a hinderance, I have come to appreciate how my condition provides me a unique perspective on the world and adds distinctiveness to my creative works. Looking at this from a positive angle, my special interest is unarguably cheaper than therapy. Over the years, I have penned several hard drives worth of poems, short stories, and full-length novels, and there are countless ideas still rattling around in my head waiting to be revealed.
