Thanks for visiting.

I was born in Blackpool - a costal resort in England famed for its miniature Eiffel Tower, run-down theme park and many drunk tourists - but now I live in London, in the shadow of two prisons.

After writing and illustrating my first novella when I was 7 years old (all 10 pages of it), I kept writing horror and science fiction short stories, and made few attempts to write novels, while I was growing up.

I decided that writing was my vocation, so I pursued a career in journalism. After university, I got a job at one of the UK’s biggest magazine publishers, and there I've stayed.

Since I began writing comics, I've been a columnist for Scryptic Studios, the story editor for Myriad – the bimonthly anthology from Approbation Comics – and wrote Syndrome. Syndrome is now in production in partnership with Pulp Theatre Entertainment.

For more news on Syndrome, please visit the Syndrome blog.

In my Gallery you'll find the pages from my 3x3x3 portfolio. I wrote (and lettered) each story. You can find more of my scripts at my online portfolio.

I'm currently available for writing and story editing duties.
