He hopes he is a teacher that the children will talk about fondly when they are grown up and remembering. He writes, too. He writes because he has stories in his head. Sometimes his stories have something to say, about life and love and universal compassion – and those are his best stories. He has been published in many nice places and by good people including Brittle Star Magazine, The Irish Literary Review and Fiction Attic Press and Freight Books. Last year he came first in the Brighton Prize flash fiction competition.
