I have lived and studied in London and Birmingham for the past 25 years and enjoy a great affinity for both cities. Stylistically, I have tried to write the kind of book I enjoy reading; one that’s easy to read, utterly honest and explores its characters’ place in an often perplexing world. My favourite writers are those I feel do this most effectively like Charles Bukowski, David Peace and Sebastian Faulks.
I have spent the last five years writing "The good die and the bad live on" although I had the idea for its fundamental premise when I was still at school, taking the idea from a line from one of my favourite songs. I wanted to write a story that combined elements of romance, fantasy and suspense yet was completely grounded in the real world. Writing the book took me back to a time when I was a student and what seems now like the final stage of growing up and I want the reader to be transported back in the same way.
I live in Carshalton, Surrey and am married with two young sons. I play football and cricket for my school's Old Boys club and am a keen follower of many other sports. I work as a Project Manager within the media industry and enjoy the opportunity writing gives me to escape from the daily grind.view less
