I live in Dronfield, UK.

I know, you aren’t alone – even people in the UK haven’t heard of Dronfield. This is a mystery as it is definitely the centre of the universe.

Why ‘Hogwash Stories’? Well, I probably write hog-wash, but I am a life-long motorcyclist with an (almost) all consuming interest in Harley Davidsons. I currently own two.

Harleys are nicknamed ‘Hogs’, of course, and one of my first offerings will be part one of a HD related tale – based on reality – look out for Hektor H-D…

I do all sorts of stuff. I love writing, painting, image making, manufacturing – in fact – all kinds of creative stuff.

I have been creative all my life, needing to be creative dictated my career path. My work as a dental ceramist taxed me to the limit. But then I found I had new limits.

New limits need new challenges and new challenges need to find their end – new ends.

My working life will soon be over, then I will be able to concentrate more time on finding new challenges and their new ends , a process I hope to repeat many times (until, well – the end…).

I do this primarily for myself 😱 – a drive exists that makes the ‘work’ necessary. But, I don’t always work alone. I collaborate with a very talented musician who takes poetry to another level, and I work with my grandson who’s bizarre and elastic imagination makes my head spin and my heart light. More from both later.

I always intended sharing. I know what I have created but, without opinion and criticism from others, no one can know their true worth or whether they are mistaken in thinking they have something to offer.

So, expect short stories (some bedtime reading length), poems, paintings, collaborations, (and insights into the production of people whose work I admire).

Will it all be worthwhile?

Time will tell…
