Although I trained as a biomedical research scientist and spent many years as a lecturer at a local further education college, I am now a full time freelance writer, editor, games designer & educator. Over the years I've worked on many games, including SLA Industries, Dying Earth, Victoriana 3e, Achtung! Cthulhu (where I was the lead designer, writer & editor on their Kickstarter project), Katanas & Trenchcoats, 13th Age, Call of Cthulhu, and my own steampunk game, Cogs, Cakes & Swordsticks. I've been gaming (tabletop and LARP) for more years than I care to admit, and I also teach embroidery and crafts to community groups of all ages!
