I suspect that I've been writing poetry and lyrics for even longer than I've been writing stories! I used to keep all of my poems and songs in a couple of huge A4 books, but one of them got stolen back in 2001, meaning that I lost around 50-60 pieces of work. It's probably quite easy to spot the influences in some of my work and I'd like to think that I've progressed a long way from when I first started writing. I'll often revisit some of my earlier work that I still own and see if I can rework anything. Presented here are a number of pieces that I have produced over the years and I hope that you'll enjoy them as much as I have.
