Hello everyone! Welcome to my author's page. I hope you will find something you like here but first, let me tell you a bit about myself.

I was born in 1971 in Griffithstown, Wales, UK. I grew up in a small town called Cwmbran, near Newport.

I attended Brookfield Junior & Infants school between 1975 and 1982. My memory of my time there forms a large part of my comedy memoir 'My Life With Kate Bush', which you can find in the list of books below.

This book, weighing in at just under 87,000 words, is a love story between myself, Kate Bush and a host of supporting characters from the 1970's and 1980's, including Top Trumps, Big Trak, an Amstrad CPC 464, Ladybird Books and Space Dust.

I love horror and ghost stories, having read most of the works of Stephen King, H.P.Lovecraft, M.R.James, Clive Barker, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and many others.

I also have a strong love of comedy, with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, Monty Python, Will Hay and the works of Douglas Adams featuring high on my list.

I currently work as a nurse in the field of mental health and am based in Wiltshire, having spent the majority of my life in Wales.

Forthcoming books include -

Tea Break Tales - a collection of fun, zany and downright bizarre short stories, to read during your tea-break!

The Adventures Of Retro Ant-Man In Tweed - an eighties inspired retro romp, featuring a flying C5 and a Blake's Seven annual.
