Hello. Welcome to my site. I haven't got a photo of me sitting back in a sumptious armchair in front of the fireplace, wearing a smoking jacket and sipping a fine cognac, but it's coming as soon as the butler's up to speed with these new digital cameras.

If we haven't met, I'm a writer of fiction and I like to read my stories out loud. I'm neither a performance poet nor a storyteller in the oral tradition, but I love being behind a microphone and I guarantee to be entertaining.

If you're wandering the web idly looking for something to read I can provide it. Got no time for that? The Auto-quote will give you a bite-sized chunk of one of my fictions—more than one, if you reload it.

If you are interested in my literary escapades so far, you might like to read a short biography, some reviews or check my publications list. If on the other hand you are finding me tedious already, the links page provides several potential avenues of escape. Remember to check out these other up and coming writers.

Finally, feel free to contact me. I'm available for booking; I do anything from a five minute slot to a two hour show, and I can tailor it to suit your exact requirements. If you just want to say hello, well, that's fine too.

Thanks for looking in here.
