His writing crosses genres. Gothic, Horror, Science Fiction, Fantasy and Literary. In 2009, he quit full-time work to study English Literature at the University of East Anglia. A move he made for two reasons. One, to expose himself to writers and works he may never have come across independently. Two, to become a better writer. He believes that if one learns to deconstruct, one simultaneously, and conversely, learns how to construct. He even managed a year of undergraduate philosophy, but he escaped unharmed.
He have also flown planes, been a radio DJ, freelance journalist, portrait artist, bass player and performance poet (that one is not remembered so fondly). He spends his working days masquerading as a Paraplanner, writing financial reports. Which is as interesting as it sounds.
The inspiration for the Glass came from a nightmare he had in 2009, where he dreamt the final scene, kind of, and subsequently back engineered a story.
Last year, he was nominated for the Best Uncle Award by my nieces. He didn’t win.view less
