What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
Well that’s a super easy question for any dog owner! Mojo and my other 6 Dogs are always ready to get up and ‘atem’. Dogs are a great incentive to get up, grab a quick coffee and get outside in the fresh air...of course sometimes it’s yucky out there but they still want to go out; even little titchy fellows like mine! On our return you feel relaxed and you’ve cleared your brain for the day ahead.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
By trade I am a dog groomer, which I’ve done for 31 years and still very much enjoy that, although I only groom a few dogs these days due to my shoulders not being brilliant. I will exercise the gang and train a few of them, I love drawing (usually my dogs!) I have a new camera and love to get out and about with that too.
I have also done quite a bit of film work as an ‘animal handler’ on some very big films such as ‘Sherlock Holmes 2’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’. My dogs have appeared on stage, radio and TV we actually did BGT this year and got 4 yeses!
