I am a Norwich born writer who has had over 70 stories published in a wide range of magazines and anthologies. In addition to these individual acceptances, my short fiction has been collected in three books: “The Virtual Menagerie” (Elastic Press, 2002), “Beyond Each Blue Horizon” (Crowswing Books, 2005), and “Residue” (Half-Cut Publications, 2006). Whilst primarily a short story writer, I've also written novels, with the comic satire “Moon Beaver” appearing from ENC Press in 2004, and a shorter work, “And God Created Zombies”, published through NewCon Press in 2009.

In November 2002, frustrated by the lack of short story collection publishers in the UK, I formed the independent publisher, Elastic Press, specialising in short fiction. In the six years that followed, the Press and its books picked up seven separate awards (five British Fantasy Society awards, including Best Small Press 2005 and 2009, an East Anglian Book Award, and the Edge Hill Short Story Prize). I closed Elastic Press in November 2008 to focus on my own writing.

Forthcoming publications include “Ponthe Oldenguine - an entertainment” to be published September 2010; together with “Slow Motion Wars”, a collaborative collection of short fiction co-written with Allen Ashley and “Shipping Tomorrow Backwards”, a new collection of stories both due to be published in 2011.
