                               I have been reading poetry since I was a child. I used to go through poetry books and just memorize the poems I loved, I used to enjoy there rhythms as you spoke them out aloud, it was like singing without the hard bit. I used to make up tiny books with pictures in them creating fantasy worlds with amazing people and hid them in my cupboard. Then I got involved with exams and my little books were forgotten. 

Years later I went to Uni. and did a writing course as part of a poetry module at University. I loved the course, the writing flowed easily and I remembered how much I loved to write. The lecturer then told me to take up writing and forget about the teaching! This was really the first time anyone had ever said I could write.
                  I  changed university and   went on to do a masters, all the while experimenting with different poetry styles, forms and structure. I had several poems published in anthologies, newspapers and magazines but I was not happy with my work: it was too similar to traditional poetry, the romantic outlook on life was boring and mundane, I wanted to write about things that preyed on my over active dark imagination.

                            So I started writing horror poetry, little stories hidden in rhymes revealing the darker side of humanity, which was much more interesting...
