about me
Degree in English Literature. Worked for five years as an editor and technical writer in a publishing house. I am a slow writer - my output is usually about 250 words a day.
My poetry book, Opia, published by Anvil Press Poetry was a Poetry Book Society Choice. Anvil will publish my second collection, How Now! in 2010.
Despite these literary credentials, my fiction is very much of the "pulp fiction" variety - lots of action, incredible scenes, and more twists than a box of hairpins.
I return backings and comments, but I prefer to do this with thrillers, credible science fiction, and horror/supernatural. I am not into fantasy or chick-lit. I like writing that is taut, characters that are larger than life, and outrageous plots.
