About Me

Purveyor of fine postmodern fiction since 1975.
That isn't to say I've been physically writing since 1975: life is research.
Apart from a few gig reviews in local inkies, and a handful of short stories that have appeared on-line, publications to date are 'Bad Houses (2006), a collection of short stories, and 'C.N.N.' (2007) - a multimedia extravaganza produced in collaboration with Stuart Bateman.
'Bad Houses' is available on Amazon now.
More recently, the short story 'Some Kind of Stranger' has appeared in the first issue of Geeek Magazine for 2008. Previously, 'Birthday' was included in the Autumn 2007 issue which is also available. Another recent-ish story, 'An Ending,' can be found HERE.
UPDATE! 'Heading South' - new exclusive short story appearing in 'Neonbeam' 4 available to download for free and to purchase in physical form via NeonBeam.org .
'THE PLAGIARIST' is finally unleashed today as a hard cover in dust jacket.A riot of experimentation, THE PLAGIARIST is an example of contemporary theory in practice, melding Bloom’s theories on influence to a series of unreliable or schizophrenic narrators against a backdrop created by Frederic Jameson. With a narrative fabricated from the effluvia of the now, which continues the work started by Burroughs and developed by contemporaries like Kenji Siratori, this book demonstrates how postmodern society can cause the individual to lose themselves and the plot.

Items posted in the blog section are a range of homeless fragments and works in progress.punctuated by the occasional review as the mood takes me: none has been previously published or otherwise seen the light of day. Some may surface elsewhere in a revised form one day: others may not.
If you're loving my work, check out the book, 'Bad Houses' a collection of thematically-linked short stories which explore the darker side of life and the human condition. The book is available on Amazon and from many on-line retailers now. Preview pages from 'Bad Houses' are available here, where it can also be purchased: http://www.lulu.com/nosnibor .

More blogs, etc., and more to come in due course (naturally). These things take time.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Myself in one of my former lives. Also people with diverse, eclectic and obscure tastes in music and an appreciation of non-mainstream literature - the kind I read, and of course, the kind I write...
Publishers, agents, anyone interested in getting my work out there are more than welcome, and similarly anyone who thinks they would like me to contribute to forthcoming publications, etc., is someone I'd like to meet.
Finally... I'm not so keen to 'meet' get-rich-quick schemes, ways to win the lottery, investment opportunities, adult sites / people who want me to pay to see nude pics, or lamecore rap acts. Really, what in my profile suggests I have any interest in the 'hoods of Cardiff, etc? And Nazi scum can fuck right off. Now.CURRENT MOON lunar phases

Taking a Back Seat on an Amazon Adventure

One of the reasons I like to be closely involved with the publication of my work is that I like the degree of control it affords me, over so many of the details I consider important. The design, the m...
