Biography
I’m a Writer, Theatre Practitioner and avid traveller from Suffolk, England. Having trained at Middlesex University in Theatre Arts I have worked and performed in a number of capacities from Lighting Designer to Stand-Up Comic. My debut play ‘The Box’ was Highly Commended in the Liverpool Hope Playwriting Prize 2014. My first novel, ‘Darkest Peru’, came into being as a result of a 6 week backpacking journey around Peru that resulted from a growing frustration of working and paying rent in London. I’ve recently released a novella entitled ‘The Indescribable Library Of Oddments’ based on an ongoing storytelling project. I’m currently starting work on the follow up to these two books tentatively titled ‘The Vault Of Horrors’.

A struggling actor embarks on an unwise adventure into the Peruvian wilderness in search of a hidden Inca temple. His need to escape 'real life' sees him negotiating the towering Andes and sprawling Amazon basin, fending for himself in a land growing more dangerous by the minute. Alone in the wild he is left with ample time to contemplate why he ever thought it was a good idea.
