Writer of science fiction, fantasy and dark fiction
I write stories about strange things happening to ordinary people — sometimes involving time travel, sometimes ghosts, sometimes monsters, and occasionally things that are harder to explain.
My short fiction has appeared in numerous publications including Analog Science Fiction and Fact, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Interzone, Podcastle, and Trollbreath Magazine. My stories have appeared in the annual Best of British Science Fiction collections. I’m also the author of the novels Fifty-One and Among the Living.
THE WRONG GHOST
My next novel is coming in Summer 2027.
The Wrong Ghost is a story about a grieving widower who believes his house is being haunted by a woman from his past, but the real danger is closer to home.
