I have been writing for a long time, but oddly it was never my goal to become a published author.
So far, my writing journey has had many ups and downs, with more twists than a classic whodunit plot, and has landed me at a (self-published) point I had never expected to begin - writing a genre I had no intention of writing - so if you'd like to find out more, why not skip over to read this article, which the lovely people at The University of Nottingham's Creative Writing Society allowed me to write for their online blog:

Nice & Cool vibe there Ian. Lot’s of Cool stuff just hidden and waiting to be brought to life. Need to hang in there and Cool stuff will happen.
