I am a writer of Bible devotions, a writer of songs and occasionally a writer of poems. I am also a Christian, so I suppose you could call me a Christian writer. My first book - aptly named 'The Narrow Path' will be published in September 2024. I live in Northern Ireland and when I get the opportunity, I love to travel.
