Personal Bio:
As a native of the former British colony of Guyana. I reside in West London in the United Kingdom. I hold a PhD in Ancient Monetary Systems. My tastes are eclectic; I like to listen to rock, metal, opera, cosmic jazz and funk when I write (depending on the scenes). Growing up in a country rife with superstition, I have a love for old comics, mystery buildings and especially all things supernatural, cosmic, esoteric and weird.
