I love horror, and I love Christmas. Some would say that the two are not mutually conjoined, others would tell you different.
Anyways... I started writing, one Christmas, back in the days of yore. I was reading The Night Before Christmas, by Clement Clarke Moore to my daughter who was just too excited to sleep. But, I used my secret weapon, my boring voice to send her off... As I tiptoed out of the room, giving Santa the space he needs to do his bit, I thought to myself, you know what? I could write something like that...
So I did...
The good Behaviour Act was written, the first story in Interesting Tymes, my very first publication.
This was followed by Interesting Tymes X 2.
These were horror anthologies written in rhyme.
I then started to think about adult orientated tales, and began to produce comics and graphic novels... These include Wooden Heart, Three Days in the City, Dopelgänger, The Adventures of Mace Masoch, The Few, DeathDay Presents...
Becoming disillusioned with the comic con scene (and the becoming skint from paying the artists) I decided to move onto novels.
I produced The Twelve, In The Mood... For Murder, CRACK, Z: A Love Story and The Contract.
I live in sunny Liverpool in the UK with my partner and daughters, I work in IT (for a living, hate it) and I love football, music and film... I also enjoy long walks, pretty flowers, and gratuitous violence and nudity...
