​Originally a Londoner, I now live and write by a sea-loch in the Scottish Highlands, which suits me much better.  Over the past decades, I’ve worked as a schoolteacher, an arts journalist,  PR to a Scottish politician and PA to an American rock star as well as writing non-fiction such as travel and business guides. I’m now concentrating wholly on poetry and fiction. 

My latest poetry pamphlet Breathing Out Becomes White and Snowfall was published in October 2025 with Intergraphia Books, following the publication of Who Am I Supposed To Be Driving?,  an ekphrastic collection in response to the music of David Bowie, which came out with London’s Hedgehog Poetry Press in August 2022.  My literary novelette AIRLOC was published in February 2024 with ELJ Editions of New York. 

I was Poet In Residence 2024/25 at Inverewe Garden, a famous National Trust For Scotland property in Scotland’s Wester Ross. 

I’m now concentrating on finishing a full poetry collection, as yet untitled. I’m also working on my first novel, working title Light Switch. My work has most often been described as speculative, neo-noir or modern gothic, and I’m fascinated by the juxtaposition between our modern technological world and the much older creatures, both real and imagined, which wander through it.
