SCIENCE FICTION AND HORROR SHORT STORIES
I was born many years ago in Exeter and after having spent a few formative years in the south of England, I moved to a small Derbyshire suburb in the Midlands. There I spent the majority of my life, frolicking within the lush green countryside, only briefly venturing north to study for a BA in Applied Social Sciences at the University of Lincolnshire and Humberside. From then on I started a career in care and mainly worked with adults with learning disabilities and acquired brain injuries. Alongside this proper job, I also write.
I have been writing since high school and in that time I count my blessings for the opportunities I have had to work with some amazingly talented people within the publishing industry. They have supported and nurtured me, providing a world of knowledge and experience that has helped me develop as a writer, and in 2019 I graduated from the University of Teesside with a Master's Degree in Creative Writing.
I have floated for some time between genres but finally found a home nestled in the crevices where Science Fiction and Horror meet. This is where I feel my writing is strongest, although I have dared to venture into the realms of poetry, movie reviewing, and even audio narration. My written work is primarily in the form of short stories and many of them have been published across the world in one format or another. I have also written some novellas and even a novel, however, don't expect too many of those. It's difficult to create one home for all of my work as so many stories are under contract with various publishers, so consider this website a big fat signpost to all the far-flung corners of the publishing world where my stories are residing. Occasionally I will self-publish a collection of works where I can lump together oddities that haven't found a home elsewhere, but every story is a part of me, even if some are an acquired taste-you can't please everyone, just look at some of my Goodreads reviews. :0
