Putting words together is more complicated than I thought - at least, to a professional standard. Like everyone else, my efforts at the Three R's (Reading, wRiting and aRithmetic) began at primary school. I didn't do too badly, and once I'd graduated to adolescent level, I found that, if the words were put together with a little more thought, I could make my classmates laugh. That's my education then. Not that it did much good. I left puberty school with O levels in English Language and English Literature (plus a sprinkling of others, including Latin), but it was never going to make me a high earner. Thirty or more years later, during which I became what is known as "a Civil Servant", I found that an initial side-line with the theatrical community was much more satisfying (if not particularly lucrative). My efforts with words resulted in awards, both as an actor and as a writer. And once I "retired early" (euphemism for redundancy) from my desk job in 2009, I found I could really get going, by writing a novel. Google my name, and you’ll find I have a dotcom site, where there’s more information about me, my books, magazine articles and performances.
