edit data

Born and raised in Plymouth, England, Jan is a father, a husband, and a former poet. Readers enjoy his work for its directness and sense of humour, as well as its smooth, free-flowing prose.

Unsurprisingly, much of his back catalogue is poetry, with four collections, two narrative poems, two anthologies, and an instructional guide for children to his name.

More recently Jan has pivoted to fiction, starting with a collection of offbeat shorts before moving into darker territory, conceiving the Hartmouth Horrors series of standalone novellas, and it is on this twisted fare that he will be focusing for the foreseeable future.

My Prologues

This Monday morning, my mind is on prologues, due in part to the latest drama in the indie space. Seriously, people are still hating on them. Weird. More than one way to skin a cat in storytelling. But I don’t intend to argue the toss, I just want to have a quick chat about the prologues you’ll find in my Hartmouth Horrors novellas.

First and foremost, I see them as hooks rather than explainers

This is a good mindfuck of a story with bags of atmosphere, and those who like their prose on the lyrical side ought to have a great time with it. Not sure why it seems to have taken a bit of a bashing ratings-wise, but if I had to hazard a guess, ma ...more
