This bit of the internet is mine. I claimed it. But you’re welcome to stay as long as you want.

I’m a writer, playwright, journalist, the copywriter for the homelessness charity St Mungo’s, and the author of the book This Party’s Dead (more on that below).

Currently: working on a novel, a escape thriller called Venus Flytrap.

After finding a loved one dead, I travelled to seven death festivals (in Mexico, Nepal, Sicily, Thailand, Madagascar, Japan and Indonesia).

Praise for This Party’s Dead:

“Poignant and often hilarious” – Publishers Weekly

“Incredibly insightful...will stick with me for a long time”

“…a rollicking, globe-trotting death adventure… fun and even cheerful, and arrives at a time when the whole world is running on a cheer deficit.” – The Brooklyn Rail

“Brilliant...absolutely terrific”

One of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read

“Literally can’t put it down”

Funny, moving, tender, exquisite

“Read the first chapter and cried... it’s amazing”

“…poignant and heartening…. laugh-out-loud funny” – Shepherd.com

“Read it in a day, couldn’t put it down”

Unforgettable
