About Me

......this is me

A struggling Manchester-based writer trying to get noticed and eventually paid for it, I spend too much money on hairgel and not enough time at the jobcentre. Part of me thinks I’m Nightwing but my family weren’t murdered and I never slept with Barbara Gordon. I don't think Nightwing spends five hours a week memorising and comparing the HMV prices of PS2 games, either.

I’ve started to publish some of my work in the blog section of this page, feel free to read and enjoy and circulate, but please respect that these are my words and trust that I can always prove it! I’m always happy to meet other writers, music fans and people who like to attach paraffin to sticks and swing them round at speed.

I like collecting genuine oxymorons.
