How did Odysseus escape from Circe?  How did Psyche become a goddess?  What did Thor do in the land of the frost giants?  What were Merlin’s three prophesies?  How did fire come from Tir nan Og to the
land of men?  What did Pwyll do in the underworld?  How did Gawain win his wife?  Is Arthur still sleeping in a cave somewhere?  Why do frogs
croak in the rain?  Why does a tortoise’s shell have cracks on it?

I have been interested in stories ever since I can remember.  As a child I lived all over Britain and have a particular interest in tales from these islands along with myths and legends from the Greeks,
Romans and Vikings.  During a varied career in which I have gazed deeply into the mysteries of the universe and cyberspace I have travelled and lived all over the world, and have an eclectic collection of stories from the places I’ve been and people I’ve met.

I have experience telling to adults and children and have performed in village halls, at festivals, in schools, to scout groups, at parties and on story walks.

I am based in the Wirral, and am ideally located for telling in Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and the North West and Midlands of England, and travel widely.
