In their own words

I’m a novelist, short-story writer, and poet, based in Oxford, United Kingdom. I write in a variety of genres, with a particular love of literary slipstream, magical realism, and formal poetry, and teach creative writing as The Writers’ Greenhouse. I’ve pseudonymously published a novel, novellas, and short stories, and ghostwritten seven novels. Under my own name, I’ve published short fiction and poetry in Open, The BFS Journal, Astrologica, New Writing, Haiku Quarterly, and Sentinel, as well as non-fiction and academic articles. My story "Rope of Words" won the 2012 British Fantasy Society Short Story competition and is now a limited edition fine-press book.
