Welcome to my website. I’m a British science fiction author, with three novels, numerous short stories and other items published to date. See the bibliography for details. I grew up in Tamworth, an average market town in the English county of Staffordshire – home to Sir Robert Peel, founder of the police force, and a castle that was once home to the King of Mercia. People have accused me of looking miserable, but that’s just my face. Inside, I am all butterflies and chirruping birdies. Honest.
