edit data

A very gay man living (though not from choice) in the United Kingdom of Stuff, who dabbles in paperback writing for pleasure and profit. Easily coaxed into talking about himself and his work for cake or fame.

I write darker comedy, often with a hint of romance. HUSBANDS delves into the darkness behind the glitter and glamour of Hollywood.

RAINBOWS AND LOLLIPOPS (2025) is a story of finding your family when the one you have no longer fits.

incredibly useful and so readable Such an easy read, while inspiring me as a writer to consider the people whose job it will be to turn my turgid text into to perfect prose. Highly recommended.
