Weaving and Writing

As well as writing I run the family textiles business - Breanish Tweed.  They actually complement each other quite well, I am out in the real world rather than at the desk, travelling far and wide and meeting interesting characters. It's inspired a number of plays for me.

I have got a number of good stories out of meeting people involved in the cloth world. For example, the tailor who was quite proud that a New York mobster was shot wearing his suit... I gave him a discount. I have written a little in the 'My Blog' section about the story of how it all came about.
