ABOUT ME:
“I have always been a dreamer, praying that one day I would do something big. But the truth is that “one day” only comes if you chase after it, so that’s exactly what I did…”
In pursuit of my dreams, I headed for the hills of the beautiful Staffordshire Moorlands and to the most magical place I know, Alton Towers. Now living close by, I count my blessings each time I hear the roar of the roller-coasters from across the valley. For nowhere am I more inspired as I experience the lift hills, dive drops, and corkscrews of the ride - that is, writing my first novel.
Originally born in East Anglia, I grew up on a haunted farm in the dark depths of Norfolk where an early encounter with one of its former residents inspired a lifelong curiosity for all that is strange and unexplained. As a result, I spent much of my childhood exploring the local churchyards where I exchanged ghost stories with my friends and developed an early love of Gothic.
My curiosity for all that is strange and unusual has never waned and I find myself still fascinated by anything that challenges my perception of the world. This curiosity is at the heart of the stories I love to write and the subjects I love to explore.
When I am not writing, I love nothing more than taking my camera on adventures be it exploring the ruins of Alton Towers, abandoned buildings, or village churches.
