Whether it’s turning a phrase or twisting a plot, I have the skill to shape words and stories so that they thrill and delight. I love to write creatively, and to unpack ideas and arguments about faith, culture and the stories we believe in with clarity and nuance.

Creative writing
I also dabble in writing fiction and poetry, including performing spoken word poetry. I have a couple of unpublished novels in a drawer, and I’m currently working on a retelling for children of the Arthurian mythos.
I have had a few short stories published:
