I began writing in order to support my work as a painter. My first three books were novels, the last two historical fiction about artists and their muses. The latest - "The Lovers and the Dustman" - the story of Stanley Spencer's obsession with his muse, gay vamp Patricia Preece - was published this week on Amazon.co.uk

They don't, but you mine your own life for material all the time, even when you think you're inventing.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz

Q. Turning real life into fiction.
The Tattooist of Auschwitz - A story full of fascinating and harrowing detail, told to the author by an Auschwitz survivor – the tattooist of the title. As a literary work it suffers to some extent from the understandable strictures this places on the narrative. The writer feels bound to 'tell it as it is' and this is fine whilst the characters are incarcerated. Read more of this blog post »
