I was born the year Steven Spielberg made everyone terrified of sharks in the city where JRR Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings. I now live in southwest England, near where Sherlock Holmes met The Hound of the Baskervilles.
I've written several novels and short stories. Most occupy the gothic mystery horror/thriller spectrum, though I have also dabbled in dystopian science fiction, children's adventures, and even the odd bit of romance. I'm branching into fantasy a little as well, but horrors and thrillers remain my fiction preoccupation.
