Wayne Noakes

Born in Ipswich, Suffolk, Wayne has always enjoyed creative expression. Largely, this has been via singing, playing instruments and – following ten years in the Royal Air Force – a number of years joyfully pursuing the performing arts (as a hobby, you understand). There were a few lines of poetry, and a particularly creative rendition of the thoughts that came with meditation, but Wayne had not thought himself to be a “writer”. That is, until after a few days of meeting the love of his life, when he knew he was going to write the story of their meeting; and then – he wrote.
