Curious about something in particular..?

Curious About Me

It doesn't pay to be too curious...

I've travelled around the world and visited some of the most iconic film locations, from the real Mount Doom in New Zealand all the way to Jurassic Falls in Hawaii, and from the tiny town of Kamloops in the Canadian Rockies where the new Power Rangers did battle early last year to all the local haunts in New York made famous by the Ghostbusters.

It was this journey that inspired me to start blogging in the first place, not only to share with the world my adventures, but also to talk about how broadening your horizons can inspire, enhance and enrich your writing.

I also use Curious Rookie as a platform to talk about how films helped shape my creativity from an early age, often calling upon the likes of Jurassic Park and other influential franchises as the true source of my passion to write, whether it's fiction or non-fiction.

As well as wading my way towards the end of a comprehensive creative writing course with The Writer’s Bureau, I'm a remote freelance writer for a number of online publications:

Disneydreamer
Disneyfanatic
Homeyhawaii
Film Daily

I've also written numerous film reviews for online publication The Swindonian, and I even worked as a film critic for my local community radio station Swindon 105.5.

In addition to all the above, I'm working on a novel heavily inspired by both my love for Snowdonia and for the sci-fi thriller, as well as a Ghostbusters fan-fiction novel, parts of which are now available to read on Wattpad.
