About Me

I'm a Storyteller...
...which happens to incorporate writing...
I've written four novels.
Borders of Bordavia
A fantasy tale for children 8-12. Monsters, evil alien Queens, insect armies, heaps of action and a whole lot of fun. (with potential for a series). Think Junior Lord of the Rings.
The Rim Riders
A near future action tale for Young Adults, dark, sci-fi elements, pertinent to teens, sexy, violent.. what else could you ask for?
Rim Closure
The continuing story. Not a sequel. Returning characters and some new ones. Criss crossing Timelines and Character journeys as it counts down to the Final moments of the Rim and the shocking conclusion...
R.I.P. Rest In Prime
Don't respect Your Elders...
My first novel for adults. A bleak prophetic vision. An aging population has placed a burden on the Young. Enough is Enough. Controversial. In the style of A Clockwork Orange.
I have also written many stories, screenplays and novellas.
2008 looks set for the big publishing push. More on my writing and other goodies at

I've spent many years working in Television, (still do) and I've written and directed numerous short films, some of which have played in International Film Festivals.
I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. I'd love to hear yours. What is a writer without stories?
