Soap On A Rope (music/women’s fiction)

Wilbur Morris only cares about one thing: the banjo.

Join her on a journey through the British music scene from the green fields of Glastonbury to the sticky floors of an old mans boozer.

Has she wasted her youth playing folk tunes or is success just around the corner?

The only thing she knows for sure is that beer tastes better when you don’t have to pay for it.

The Fishing Museum (poetry)

A collection of poetry strung together with thoughts, stories and reflections.
