Spanish, Irish, Scottish, London East End, Thames Delta roots mongrel, have been looking for something I was shown when I was five but have found the best way of finding is not to look. Having submitted work to The Brink for some years now under different pen names I have managed to whittle down the either or section to Gibson, Coke, Beef, Panties and Bukowski.

Spent twenty years commuting to and from London, money excellent, do whatever you wanted to do lifestyle, perfect English cottage, three cars, office complex in the houes, Ex Pat living in Sweden, two children then back to London for the 90's. Recession, Addiction, Psychiatric Ward, Burnout, Breakdown, no possesions any more which is freedom, estranged family.
Started the rebuild in 1993, gave up the booze and discovered I was actually enjoying life. Although divorced spent more time with my children and started working with Homeless addicts and male sexual abuse victims.
I now write about those experiences and work sometimes as a lecturer for Sussex University educating Mental Health Nurses and GP's.
Musical collaborations are essential to my well being, working with Beachy Head Music Club and Paul Hawkins, gives me the bi polar diversity which feeds the need.
It was as it was now it is as it is.
