Hello! I'm J.J., and I live in the sunny city of Manchester in England with my fiancee Sarah and my two children. From an early age I loved reading and writing, my mum introduced me to the terrifying world of Stephen King.

For the past two decades, I have been toiling away in the world of screenwriting and filmmaking, managing to get my short film 'Birthday Wishes' onto the blu-ray special features of Blumhouses hit movie SINISTER 2 in the UK and releasing my micro-budget feature film THE FERRYMAN on all the major streaming services.

In 2022 I published my first novella, the folk horror FOLLOW THE LEADER, based on one of my many unproduced screenplays. I am thoroughly enjoying this new form of storytelling, with many more short stories and novels to come.
