Hi and welcome. I write in just about every genre you can imagine. Okay, that's hyperbole, but I do write the story first and consider genre afterwards. Currently writing some shorter works after publishing my latest novel, a romantic adventure set on an Earth as it may be ten years from now (2021).

I have fourteen books out at present, and my work has appeared in a number of anthologies:

An Excess Of...   Published by Fantastic Books Publishing and released in digital and paperback formats 25th October 2021

At the request of Fantastic Books Publishing, my short story, Rebirth, is included as a professional example, in Fusion, an anthology of winners from a speculative fiction contest. My short story, Hybrid Dreams, is similarly included in the science fiction anthology, Synthesis. And my short story, Ouija, is one of the 33 Fantables (stories of exactly 666 words) in the horror anthology, 666, all available via the publisher or through the usual book retailers.

I also have work published in Northern Short Stories; Vol 5, Epigraphs; the Anthological Poets, and To Hull and Back 2015 Anthology. And I was invited to write the Foreword to Kathy Stienemann's The Writer's Lexicon.
