About Sheridan

This by far is the hardest part of the exercise - to write about myself. I am a very complex person with many traits that are quite uncommon. For example, my profession is an accountant, but I loathe accounting. I added marketing and multi-media qualifications just to add to the mix. I am very hard and yet very easy to satisfy. My harshest critic is myself. I began writing about seven years ago. Nine years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease at the age of 34. My family comprises of my lovely wife, my two delightful daughters and myself.I am an emotional writer, i.e. I like to feel the character(s) that I am writing about. I often find myself so immersed in the character that i am writing about that tears race down my cheeks. I am known to be highly opinionated. I like to write on a wide scope. From humour, drama, sci-fi, love & romance, family and religion. I truly enjoy myself when I write. Hopefully, my readers enjoy my writing and my style. I will attempt to place as much material as possible on Blogit. So sit back and enjoy.

Best Wishes
