I was born in the Summer of 1969 in Dagenham, just on the border of East London. School was largely unproductive so his early adult years were spent putting up stalls at Romford Market, working in a record shop, gardening and road sweeping. After resigning from an insurance company to play in a band, I found myself unemployed for two years in the early nineties. In 1997, I qualified as a psychiatric nurse. I am the author of the following novels: Tollesbury Time Forever (2012) The Bird That Nobody Sees (2012) I Woke Up This Morning (2013) The Buddhas of Borneo (2013) The Magical Tragical Life of Edward Jarvis Huggins (2014) Elysian Wonderland (2015) Merzougaville, Baby (2015) Albion Calling (2016) Bolivian Rhapsody (2018) This Awful Small Mercy of Miss Miriam Mallone (2022) The Truth About Trees (Exp 2023) In terms of writing, my heroes are Jack Kerouac, John Steinbeck, James Joyce Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan and Tom Waits. Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss anything about my novels or if I can be of any help at all!
