About my writing

My novels fall in that particular spot between literary and commercial fiction that’s often called reading club fiction. I am currently seeking representation for my third novel, a Gothic story of arson, unrequited love and obsession, set in a tumbledown English manor house.

My short stories tend more towards the traditional literary, though I have a soft spot for old-fashioned ghost stories. They have won prizes and appeared in a number of literary magazines, anthologies and online platforms (see Publications and Prizes), and my poetry has featured in several noteworthy journals. You can read one of my short stories on this site, here , and others via the links on the Publications and Prizes page.

I also undertake paid critique work and publish blog posts on writing craft via Writer’s HQ.

I’m no longer on any social media, but if you would like to contact me about anything writing-related you can do so via the Contact page. I do check the inbox, and will pick up anything sent to me.
