Living at the far west of Cornwall, Gray Lightfoot has started writing again. His job as a bus driver gives him the opportunity to play with words in his head as he drives past angry and bemused passengers. He is writing and performing poetry in the hope of making audiences laugh. He is also working on a series of comic fantasy novels based around the character Humphrey Boggart, a detective in the world where all the elves, dwarves and goblins ended up when religious persecution and the prevalence of iron in this world became too much for them.
