I'm the author of south London set crime noir novel FRANK'S WILD YEARS, published by Caffeine Nights. Mike Hodges, director of Brit-gangster classic called it: 'An urban masterpiece; riveting from first to last.'

A graduate of Sheffield Hallam University's MA Writing, and Middlesex University's Writing, Publishing and English degree, I've also written several pieces of short fiction published in anthologies and online. I am also the author of the social history books, Pattie Slappers, The Women They Left Behind, Distant Water and Family Ties. 

In 2009 I co-wrote the script for TED'S RETURN HOME, a short film about Ted Lewis, pioneering author of classic British crime novel Jack’s Return Home, which was memorably filmed as Get Carter. I was also a key contributor to LEWIS'S RETURN HOME, a Radio 4 documentary about Ted Lewis.  

Originally from south London, I now live in Barton Upon Humber, a stone's throw from the river. 

Current projects include re-writes on my conspiracy thriller THE PARADISE MAN and the completion of a long-overdue biography of Ted Lewis, provisionally titled: TED LEWIS: The Man Who Wrote Get Carter.
