About

I am a freelance writer with an interest in strange tales, eccentric characters, modern folklore, and local history. My intention is always to find the human side in what might seem to be sensational stories.

This website is a way to collect my writing in one place. Some articles have been published elsewhere and are shared here with permission. Others are written especially for this site. Please subscribe to the newsletter to stay informed about new posts.

I have a long-running project about the Megatron flying saucer restaurant, formerly at Alconbury. My research began in 2021 and we are now filming a feature-length documentary called The Man Who Built a Flying Saucer. Follow our progress by searching for ‘Megatron Memories’ on Facebook or Twitter.

I am also proud of the work I have done with Refugee Support Europe since 2016, for whom I now act as an Ambassador. In addition to my volunteering trips, I write articles for their website and produce videos for social media and events.

Learn more about their work at https://www.refugeesupporteu.com. Donating is easy and volunteering is highly rewarding.
