About this author

I was born and bred in the South of England. I trained in mental health before reading drama, classics, and medieval history at UWA. I went on to postgraduate studies in Antonin Artaud and the Theatre of Cruelty, and Theology.

I have worked in the theatre as an actor and technician. I've been a musician (performing with Sergeant Sunshine), a personal trainer, and a playwright.

I currently work full-time as a freelance editor and author.

“Warriors fear surrender. They are proud and defiant. They will fight to the death for what they believe in. They will struggle to conquer. Love is not about conquest. The truth is a man can only find true love when he surrenders to it. When he opens his heart to the partner of his soul and says: 'here it is! the very essence of me! It is yours to nurture or destroy.”
David Gemmell

“What will you do now?'

I think I will become a monk and devote my entire life to prayer and good works.'

No,' said Rek. 'I mean, what will you do today?'

Ah! Today I'll get drunk and go whoring,' said Bowman.”
