I’ve been a writer for more than thirty years, originally published in the RPG industry with Nightfall Games, Hogshead, Cubicle 7, and Modiphius.  I also wrote a regular column for Tabletop Gaming Magazine, and have been published traditionally through Luna Press for the novel Ocean of Stars and the Novella Just Add Water as well as several short stories published in anthologies.

I also run conventions, ranging from tabletop games conventions to literary conventions, in particular I work on making events accessible to all, currently undertaking a project to bring a free games and literary convention to Kensington Town Hall on April 26th, 2025.
