about me

**PLEASE NOTE - ANY SPAM WILL BE DELETED. IF YOU WANT ME TO READ YOUR WORK, YOU READ MINE FIRST**

I began writing fantasy fiction at the age of fourteen and have been mildly obsessed with it ever since.

I completed my MA in Creative Writing, at Liverpool John Moores University. In the summer of 2009 one of my novels, HORIZON, was shortlisted at the annual novel writing competition Pulp Idol, part of Liverpool’s Writing On The Wall Festival. I also attended a weekend writing course at Ty Neywdd Centre for Writing in South Wales, where all the finalists had one to one sessions with published author Jenny Newman.

My main influences in the fantasy genre are: Robin Hobb (aka Megan Lindholme), Jim Butcher and David Gemmell. Hobb’s work is more indicative of classic fantasy, as is Gemmell’s, and Butcher’s is a mixture of both classic and contemporary urban settings. These authors’ skills at world building and characterisation are, in my opinion, supreme.

The Land of Midnight Days

Kate Jack

In a city that's become an urban jungle, Jeremiah Tully already knows how to survive, now he must learn how to live.


What would you do if your life was filled with fear: hide, run away -or would you fight back?

In a city at war with itself, Jeremiah Tully already knows how to survive, now he must learn how to live. Mute from birth, of mixed race heritage and his only possession a charmed flute, Jeremiah tries to discover where his remarkable talent as a musician will take him.

Is he the catalyst that will free the metropolis of its demons? Can he rid the streets of the Gangers and Wannabees who terrorize and dominate? The path to freedom is long, dark and twisted.

Hi Emily, just read Chapter 1 of Mother of Monsters and really enjoyed it. It’s a combination of classic Greek mythology, with contemporary touches. I’ve left a few thoughts that I hope prove useful. In the meantime, backed. Chapter 1 Old gods never die; they wait and scheme. None did thi... view book

Hi Lucas, read the opening chapter and first let me say you have a great imagination. That you’re a talented writer there’s no doubt. I’ve outlined some thoughts, which I hope prove useful. We rested upon the cool of the stones. The flames of the Firedrop ring flickered in our eyes. They were new... view book

Hi Jane, read the prologue and 1st chapter of Wormholes. This is good – frighteningly good – literally. The descriptions of the coming Armageddon were brilliantly done. The characterization is spot on and the dialogue, on the whole, excellent. There are a few minor issues with over description and o... view book

Hi Jim, here’s my take on Chapter 2. This continues to entertain. Your world is vivid and 3 dimensional, as are the characters. Both the narrative and dialogue are tailored to high fantasy, but without the verbosity some writers employ. I’ve outlined a few thoughts, which I hope are helpful. Chap... view book
