Since I was four my nickname has been ‘Westy’...occasionally ‘Testies’ and ‘Festy’.

I was born in the seventies, my music taste is still there.

Anyone who starts conversations with ‘What do you do for a crust?’ will be a complete bore.

Sport bikes over Harleys.

Wasabi coated peanuts; a gift from god.

In early 2010 I left the sterile world of community pharmacy behind to pursue my love of writing and adventure. Since then I have had my eyes opened to many things, not least of which is that that money truly does not make people happy.

I detest conflict, unless someone is being racist, sexist or beard-ist.

“Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional”, my favourite quote. Impressively my parents practice it.

Milk and one sugar, Lattes do not count.

I can put a condom up my nose and pull it out of my mouth.

Once upon a time I was so stressed I would regularly throw up breakfast.

Despite trying to face my fear I get highly agitated around cows.

I regularly tell the important people that I love them, they already know.

There is no way known that I can take an angry Indian or Hispanic person seriously.

I have given myself four years to earn a living through writing, that is why that counter is on the ‘Home’ page.

Currently my only independent transport is a blue girl’s bike with a basket, I love this.
