edit data

Born and raised in South West 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.

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 branched out into fiction writing, beginning with a collection of grim little 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, each year releasing two new tales set in the fictional English seaside town of Hartmouth.

Welcome to my Monday morning blog, which is basically me smashing out a few half-baked paragraphs about whatever’s on my mind. I’m no article writer, so please don’t expect anything polished or SEO-compliant, but here goes anyway...

This is a strange and wonderful story that showcases, through seemingly effortless prose and beautifully realised characters, a clear and affecting love of Toronto, of feudal Japan and bushido, of art and music and the rhythms of city life. And while ...more
