Slightly crazy writer and passionate educator for those who struggle
Welcome
Welcome to my website. This is an eclectic collection of my interests; poetry on any topic, writing of novellas and soon to be a whole lot of information on teaching with a focus on those students that struggle (regardless of the reasons why).

Novellas
I write lots of Novellas – it seems to be a length that suits me. My problem is I don’t like editing them, although I am attempting to get better at it. Self publishing on my site is a way to encourage that.
Burnt Out
