“Highly recommended… An author to watch” - The Fix

Welcome to my website.

I’m a science fiction author from the United Kingdom.  I made my first commercial fiction sale to Interzone in 2006. Since then, my short stories have been published all over the world, translated into seven languages, and adapted for radio in the United States.

I’ve twice placed highly in the Interzone Readers’ Poll for best short story of the year, coming sixth in 2006 and first in 2007.

Elastic Press published a print collection of my short fiction, The Last Reef and Other Stories, in August 2008.

My first novel, Silversands, will be released shortly. In the meantime, I’m and gathering material for three further novels, a second short story collection, and a nonfiction book about the trials and tribulations of freelance copywriting.

In 2007, I became the founder of the “Friday Flash Fictioneers”, a group of writers whose early work is collected in the print anthology Illuminations from Odd Two Out Books.

I studied Humanities and creative writing for 3 years at the University of Glamorgan and hold the Certificate in Direct & Interactive Marketing from the Institute of Direct Marketing.

I’ve spent a decade working in the marketing industry, during which time I’ve written literally hundreds of sales letters, press releases, adverts, customer magazines, web pages and case studies.

I proposed to my wife in Oxford, six weeks after meeting her, and we live in the West Country with our two daughters.
