I was born in Wales in 1967. After a successful career as a composer of theatre and commercial music in the 1990s I moved into publishing, initially as a music typesetter, then later as a book designer. I began writing in 2003 and my first horror novel, Midwinter Lucie, was published in 2008. A second novel, again for young adults, appeared a year later. My first adult novel, the start of a sci-fi/horror series under the title 'Firestorm' was published in November 2012. The psychological horror 'Run' was published in 2013. I live in rural Worcestershire, England, with a wife and parrot.
