The Way-Too-Honest-Diary of a 40-Something Author With No F*cks Left
I don't just dance to the beat of my own drum, I make my own drum too. I've worked every day-job under the sun and spent over two decades in the film industry, mostly falling out with producers (and suing a couple!). I realised it wasn't for me when I caught myself cycling past a production company giving it the finger.
I have a LOT of opinions on how creatives - especially non-white, non-men - are treated, and I know I can find a better way. I have my own publishing company, a store to sell direct, and a lot of stories to tell.
Will I go broke, sue myself or make it happen? All equally possible. Follow along to find out...

About me...
AUTHOR | PUBLISHER | HEAD OF MARKETING & HR
BOOK SELLER | OFFICE MANAGER | HEAD TEA MAKER
I was a screenwriter for over a decade until it made me so bitter that I caught myself cycling past a production company giving it the finger and decided I didn’t like the person the film industry was turning me into. I quit, went to work at a preschool in Stockholm and accidentally wrote my first novel during my class of one-year-old’s naptime.

To have coffee and cake alone or with a friend, but more than that, it’s a state of mind. It’s about taking a pause from the bustle and bustle of your day to just enjoy yourself.
