I was always writing stories, jotting down notes or dreaming up new ideas. I remember winning a couple of competitions at school, which my Mum probably has a better recollection of than me.
My other flair belongs to the world of computers, technology and gadgets. When I left school, I embarked on a career in IT. This was quite handy as it granted me an interesting career, allowing me to playing with computers, technology and gadgets, while getting paid.
Yet, my passion for writing always remained.
One day, I made a decision; a major decision. I quit and enrolled on an English Literature degree with the Open University. I also setup my IT Consulting company to put myself through University.
About four years after resigning, I achieved a BA (Hons) First Class degree in English Literature. The Open University degree taught me how to inspect and analyse other writers and apply the criteria to my own writing. More importantly, it gave me the confidence to seriously consider producing my own material.
So I went back to my day job in IT and started writing...
I have plenty of ideas, none of which fit neatly into a particular style or genre. I am working on a science fiction comic, a young adult fiction novel, a collection of illustrated children's poems, a surrealist novella, as well as a number of short stories. I have also produced a non-fiction cyber security eBook on how to protect oneself from online scams on the Internet.
There are many more ideas in the pipeline. This website will be updated to include news and updates on my latest stories and publications.
