I developed a passion and talent for writing whilst still at school, but preferred to play the class clown instead.

In my twenties I began to write again, mainly poetry and short stories. But never sent anything away for publishing.  

Mid thirties I decided to try my hand at stand up comedy and begun writing all my own material. For three years I gigged in comedy venues across the U.K.  I also ran my own comedy club ‘StandupwithJamie’

During this time I was given an opportunity to write a piece for Scotland’s Hollyrood magazine. A six hundred word article about life as a woman trucker.

Still nurturing a lifelong dream to be a freelance writer; I retired from stand up. Then I enrolled for the Writers Bureau course; this gave me the skills and confidence needed to get my work published again.

I’ve just started a blog occasional mutterings to keep me writing regularly. I write a mixture of both fiction and non-fiction. Humour is a big passion and this tends to come across in my writing,
