About

A lifelong collector of stories.

Stories, Songs & Second Chances is a collection of poems, essays and reflections about memory, family, friendship, football, creativity, ambition and the lives we end up living instead of the ones we planned.

Some pieces arrive from pub conversations, some from the touchline, some from a song lyric or a regret that would not sit still. The thoughts we bury are often the ones that shape us.

New poems and essays land first on Substack, along with early access to collections and projects as they grow.
