About

I’m a novelist and award-winning short story writer based in the UK.

I’ve published three novels, all set in the fictional town of Strathurst – Mute, Gifts of Anger and A Danger of Books. They combine elements of the literary thriller, dark comedy, and a commentary on society. My aim is to write things which are tense, mysterious, funny and thought-provoking.

My shorter work has appeared in Artificium, Flash Fiction Magazine, World Wide Writers, Star & Crescent, Portsmouth News, the Fairlight Books website and on BBC Radio. I’ve also been longlisted, shortlisted and placed in numerous competitions.

In my previous jobs I have worked as a civil engineer, programmer, training instructor and technical writer. I’m an editor and the website designer for my wife Helen‘s environmental project Pens of the Earth, and website designer for the Portsmouth Authors Collective.

I also play the guitar and brew my own beer.
