Writer.
I am a writer of short stories, books and screenplays. My non-fiction includes “Downhill From Here” and “Running the Orient” and my optioned or produced screenplays include “Sparks and Embers,” “Nitrate” (with Guy Ducker) and “20 Questions.” I recently published my second novel, entitled “Circle.”
Director.
My debut feature film “Sparks and Embers,” starring Kris Marshall and Annelise Hesme, was released in 2015. “Nitrate” (with Guy Ducker) is currently in pre-production. Music videos include work for Primal Scream, Jet and The Veils. My short film “Beyond” was completed with assistance from the UK Film Council.
Bookseller.
Having moved to Margate in 2023, I found myself regularly visiting neighbouring Broadstairs, the summer home of Charles Dickens. Remarkably, the town didn’t have a dedicated bookshop for new books. I decided to remedy this and in June of 2026, I opened The Best of Times Bookshop and Café. Come visit!
