Welcome
Welcome to my corner of the web! I am a writer, runner and geographer, based in the great city of Liverpool. I have a number of novels underway; a long-standing love of the Shetland Isles; and an enduring fascination with just about anything involving maps…
Here you will find details of my fiction writing; information on my adopted home of Liverpool and spiritual home of Shetland; a range of semi-demented blogs; and (eventually) a realm of articles on geographic-related issues. For the record, my fiction writing could be termed ‘Science Fiction and alternative futures’ – but even if those genres aren’t your ‘thing’, at its heart all the stories are and always will be about people and places.
Please do keep checking back! Content is created as time allows, but as with every website this is all a perpetual work in progress. Recent updates will always be listed on this front page.
