A few years ago I left the legal profession to do something different but I didn’t know what. What I did know was that I loved to write stories. I embarked on a Creative Writing MA and met brilliant people who also loved to write. I wrote some books including a couple of collaborations. Yesterday I graduated with a PhD in telling hidden stories through creative writing.
