About me.

I live and work in Devon, UK. I write in my spare time, usually before breakfast. I write flash fiction and short stories for fun. I’ve written and published two novels: The Poster (runner-up in the 2024 Pen to Print Book of the Year Award) and Stone and Water. Both of my novels are set in the South-West of England.

I’m currently working on my third novel: a 1950 private detective thriller set in Ipswich.

My author website has details of all my books and links to buy them.

Why subscribe?

I post every two weeks about my writing journey: the struggles, the pitfalls, the fleeting moments of minor successes. I share some Flash Fiction and excerpts of my works in progress.

I give as much detail as possible about what I find works in editing, publishing and promoting my work. I do the same about what doesn’t work! You can learn from my many mistakes.
