My favourite writer is Charles Schulz, and, like Charlie Brown, I love characters who keep screwing up but keep trying. I also enjoy writing twisted satirical thrillers, inspired by our semi-dystopian modern world. Over the years I've worked on all sorts: from children's musicals to horror and even some light erotica as a staff writer at Galatea. Spice of life and all that.
Here are a few of the stories I've been dreaming up, and projects I've been a part of that I'm currently allowed to talk about. My full slate is available on request.
