Author: couchmagpie
I was born in North Wales to English parents with their roots in Cheshire and Lancashire. I left Loughborough University with a BSc and PhD in Economics. I worked in IT for about 17 years and then changed jobs to become a Communications Consultant – a job in which my interest and skills in writing come in very handy.
I love film with a passion and have an eclectic music taste. In my spare time I read a lot and write books of my own.
I have written several books and there is a lot of information about them on couchmagpie.com as well as my somewhat random musings on film, tv, music, games, books, writing, food, drink and life in general.
