Since I was just 12 years old, I have known that a writer is all I have ever wanted to be.

I was born in 1968 and raised in the north-east of England. These days I’m a globe-trotting ex-pat Brit. I love books, movies, music, German Shepherd dogs and wolves. I enjoy meeting other authors, discussing the writing process and some have described me as “an inspirational muse” because I love to help other writers get their own projects off the ground.
I enjoy cooking, black coffee, red wine and I have a devilish, sometimes zany, sense of humor. I can’t resist a practical joke so be warned: if you are ever walking through a door and a bucket of water tips over you … it was most likely me that put it there.

I am presently getting my own publishing company up and running and that has taken up a great deal of my time but I know it will all be worth it in the end.

My novels are mainly revenge-thrillers, some with a supernatural twist.

Wrath and Remembrance, Comparing Scars, Hitting Back and God's Soldiers run sequentially to form a quartet.

Blood and Water is a separate story, but linked to Comparing Scars through one of the characters.

The stories deal with the themes of murder, revenge, sin, temptation, love, absolution and salvation.

I want people to be entertained by my stories ... but, at the same time, I want my stories to make the reader think about what is around them and ask themselves questions like ...

Am I in control of my own life?

Would I know if someone else was trying to manipulate me?

If I lost my soul, would I know it?

Just because you can't see or hear some things ... it doesn't mean that they don't exist!

Hank Shank VIII retells the story of King Henry Tudor in our time, caught in changing times and an ever-raging power-struggle, battling with his personal demons and finding himself constantly at war with enemies both outside and within his organisation.
A contemporary Henry for our era.
Would his legacy be so different?

I have several books planned and noted for the future.

No rest for the wicked. « less
