Hi I'm Bill, an ex-psychiatric nurse living in North Wales, UK.
For the past ten years or so, I have been pursuing a change in career - Acting. I work under the Professional name of "William Huw"
Although I have been lucky enough to land work in Film, Theatre, TV and the corporate area, the work isn't exactly thick on the ground up here in North Wales, so for the times I am "resting" I have decided to take up writing for Hubpages.
My subjects will probably range from anything to everything at first, so be prepared for an eclectic mix to say the least!
But enough of this chit-chat, I've got to get writing - See you later.
