about me

Sincere thanks to everyone who has read, backed and commented on The Devil's Box; I am truly moved by the encouragement and insight you have offered. I have taken it down to continue editing.

In the meantime, I offer another project I have recently started. Matter Out of Place is a story about love, loss and anthropology.... and if that sounds intriguing, read on. There are one or two sexy bits, but I'm not telling where!

The first few chapters are all I have, but I'm working on more and will upload them as I finish them. These are relatively unedited, so please disregard typos and silly mistakes. At this stage, I'm particularly looking for comments about the storyline and the characterization. Enjoy!

favourite books

Too many to name, but the one I always come back to is The Shipping News by Annie Proulx. Also much loved are To Kill a Mocking Bird, Pat Barker's Regeneration Trilogy, the His Dark Materials trilogy, The Crow Road by Iain Banks, pretty much anything by Barbara Kingsolver, but especially The Poisonwood Bible.

Harry Potter crossed with Dr Doolittle....in a very delightful way. Kids will love this. I love it, because I do think cats are magical. Great stuff. On my shelf. BexMcK (Matter Out of Place) view book

Ok, I am going to come back to this when I get more time because I"m in a rush now, but I REALLY like how it starts. Totally wacky pair of cowboys getting zapped off into another world... I love that. BexMcK (Matter Out of Place) view book

Jacob- First of all, let me say well done for getting it down on paper! All these things in your opening barrage of craziness have been rattling around in my head for years, and I've never quite had the guts to write it down and put it out there in public like that. As a disillusioned Yank who se... view book

Craig- This is really unique and intriguing. I've just dipped into it and hope to make time to read more. I think what you are trying to do is particularly ambitious- such a powerful story, so full of human truths. My comment is about your use of the vernacular, and is purely my opinion.

Eric- This is really enjoyable. I've done some creative writing teaching too, and can see some of my students here... it's a good lesson about how not to teach! Your prose is fluid and easy to read, and I like your casual, almost flippant style. I think I'd like to get to know a little more abo... view book
