I'm a romantic comedy writer, which suits me perfectly because I am just like the women about whom I write.
I'm also a screenwriter specialising in live action film and television for families and children and a producer working with www.nelsonnutmeg.com.
I have won and been shortlisted for numerous awards including BAFTA Rocliffe (2009) and the Windsor Fringe Kenneth Branagh Award for New Writing (2011).
