Welcome to my website! I’m a writer living in North Hertfordshire, trying to fit some actual writing in around work, family, and all of the distractions that the internet has to offer.
I’m currently honing my two work-in-progress novels, Echoes and Entrapment, which (if you’re from the future and I haven’t got around to updating this blurb yet) you will recognise as the first two books in the staggeringly successful Entanglement series. The blog below will keep you up-to-date with how I’m getting on, as well as containing occasional reviews and recommendations of things I like.

I got an email this week about a drabble competition. I’d kind of heard of drabbles, but never tried to write one – but I’ve tried most other variations on flash and nanofiction so why not? Especially when there’s cash to win. I do think it’s an odd name but apparently it’s a Monty Python…
