Born

13 April 1969 in West Yorkshire, England.

Life (lite)

Moved to the Midlands at age 3 and grew up mostly in Lichfield, Staffordshire; studied French and German at Lancaster University, England; spent 18 months trying to write a thesis on the Austrian author Thomas Bernhard, but not succeeding because he made me depressed.

In 1994 came to Cambridge to work for a publisher of academic databases. Currently work as a technical writer for a California-based mobile telecomms company.

Live in a village in south-east Cambridgeshire.

Interests

Music; reading; swimming; playing the violin badly; walking; but mainly whinging about the decline of the world, Britain and the English language.

I write the odd poem as well.
