Biographical Note
I am a full time Freelance Writer and Editor with 15 years experience. 

I have had nearly 1000 feature length articles published on various subjects including homes, gardens, wine, personal and business profiles, real estate, construction, motorsport, motor vehicles, product campaigns and general features. I have also ghost written a book on the digestive system and edited several non-fiction books.
