Brighton blog


Jenny Brown, an old friend from primary school who is now a freelance writer living in Canada caught up with me last week to talk about old times & ask me a few questions to feature my work & The Yellow House on her Brighton blog. Jenny has been involved in theatre, film, television, and creative writing for 14 years.  "Whether it is through acting, script writing or interviewing people, her most notable trait is curiosity". Great to see you Jenny after 30 years! See more about Jenny's work on dreamnest productions.
