Welcome to “On a Westley Breeze”.
The name comes from a beautiful and tranquil hamlet in Devon that holds a special place in my heart. It is nestled below the Haldon forest, with stunning views across the valley.

To write that journey – forge a story with a beginning, its twists and turns through moments of happiness and heartbreak to a finale – is beyond magical.
I hope you enjoy my short stories as much as I enjoyed writing them.
