The first draft of my next novel, JOCKULA, is now complete! It's taken a number of years to finish, in between working a full-time job, family commitments, bouts of self-doubt (not to mention a pandemic), but I was so happy to finally type "The End". I'm taking a small break from it and then will get going with the second draft in the Spring. All going well, the book should be out later this year!

I've also recently had my third music post published on the Toppermost website, following on from my Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook articles. This new one, recommending ten tracks from Badly Drawn Boy, can be found HERE.
LATEST POST
Latest Release
"A sweet, short anthology that poses the question of why The Beatles still matter in its first story and proceeds to answer that over a variety of stories that range from the domestic to the pleasingly strange and horrific."
- GoodReads Review
​​
"The book's concept, although lofty, is a tasty homage to the record, delivering a book that's filled with restraint, romance, comedy and contradiction. It's beautifully packaged, tipping a hat back at the album cover that introduced the quartet to the world."
