Welcome to my new website, which brings together all my short stories and novels. Click the links below to go to my blog or follow me on Twitter.
I am a British writer living in Surrey. I have most fun writing traditional ghost stories with a contemporary twist, as well as science fiction stories and generally weird tales to keep you awake at night.
Thanks for visiting.

"Come on, Channel 4, there's a series waiting to be made here..."
- Rod MacDonald, SFCrowsnest on The Voidant Lance
"We are told that the next installment for the Axiom Few is at the author's website, and it should be well worth checking out if the next story is as good as this one."
- Sam Tomaino, SFRevu on The Voidant Lance
"Within the first paragraph of this novel I knew I was in the hands of a skillful, practised writer. The atmosphere is eerie and evocative..."
- Fiona Gregory, Web Fiction Guide on Spireclaw
"...Beautifully crafted..."
- Annieworld, Random Thoughts on The Darken Loop
"A good old fashioned (yet high-tech) tale of approaching apocalypse, [which] served to remind me just what unpretentious science fiction can do when written by someone who clearly relishes every word."
- Adrian Fry, Whispers of Wickedness on The Ceres Configuration
"The characters are believable and the claustrophobic confines of the ship give rise to interesting interplay, especially as scientists with rational minds struggle to rationalize the seemingly impossible turns of events. This is a great novel for lovers of sci-fi..."
- Rupert C, Zambia on The Daedalus Transfer
"I just finished reading Spireclaw. It really held my suspense and I thought it was a terrific book! ... I found out about online books a couple months ago and I've been reading lots of books. Spireclaw is the best one I've read so far!"
- Linda M, Dallas TX
"An excellent story, one which has plenty of scope for development into other forms of media. This was a short story but the characterisation is good and it's possible to see a novel or even a radio or TV series featuring The Axiom Few."
- Rod MacDonald, SFCrowsnest on The Darken Loop
