Moving to Whitburn in 2016 was one of the most liberating and inspiring moves I've ever made. While personal circumstances meant I had to relocate to South Shields my love for Sunderland meant I decided to find an office location there.
A large part of this has been the many wonderful people and organisations I've met on the way. Encouraged to collaborate with Sunderland Indie after interviewing Barrie West on our Spice FM talk show led to me exhibiting a couple of the drawings and word pictures I'd created while writing my first book. These were first displayed at Mackies Corner Exhibition. Later an exhibition in conjunction with the Royalty Theatre Sunderland to coincide with their pantomime season once again with readings.
