I have completed four novels in the past four years. Currently writing a collection of short stories. Currently in search of a literary agent. My favourite novels are Mercurius by Patrick Harpur and A Clue to the Exit by Edward St. Aubyn. My writing tends to delve into the darker side of the mind engendering books that are uncozy, unsafe, unhinged, and hopefully, unputdownable. I am drawn to the themes that seethe in the subconscious: Psycho-sexual horror, myths, imagination, graveyard glamour, and dark fairytales. I am fatally attracted to Nature, gardens, dreams, themes that shock the soul, and the primitive side of man that gives meaning to the things that go bump in the night.
