I'm a city boy at heart, growing up in the London (England) area. In 2005, I moved to rural Alaska for love, and I'm still here, writing gritty urban fantasy. What else can I say about me?

How about I love falconry, have been licked by a wolf, had a lion cub fall asleep on my lap, had close encounters with moose, and still love the big city?

Or should I tell you about the gritty urban fantasy stories that I've written? How I love diving into the minds and emotions of the characters I create? Why I let their thoughts and feelings bleed through me onto the page while trying to tell the best stories I can? Because I write the stories I want to read, I fill the page with the fantastic while keeping everything grounded in the realities I create.

I somehow manage to do all this while working a full-time job, exploring the world of AI art, and creating products for book lovers.

If you want to know more or keep up to date with my projects, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'd love to hear from you. You can also join my mailing list to receive updates directly.
