About me 

I'm an award-winning fiction writer and creator of the non-profit online publisher, Philistine Press.       

My fiction has been published widely in the UK, Australia and USA.  I'm the winner of the 2003 Philip LeBrun Prize for Creative Writing. 

My writing, like anyone else's is impossible to define, so let's allow it to speak for itself.
