Hi all :-) 

The Ballad of Lucy Jordan has been out for a couple of months now and while I’ve dropped off with the marketing, I’m pretty happy with how it’s doing!

Hi all,

Excited to announce that after a very long time in the making, I’m releasing my first novel to the world as of midnight, June 30 2025 ☺️

Some of you may recognise the title, a song by American poet and songwriter Shel Silverstein. It was later recorded by the English singer Marianna Faithfull in 1979, first appearing on her album Broken English. This version was release as a single in October 1979 and went on to become one of her highest-charting songs. The song has featured on the soundtracks to the films Montenegro, Tamation and Thelma & Louise.

I’m so excited that it’s finally here and that I can share it with the world!

All the details on where to get a copy in the

Hi all,

Excited to announce that after a very long time in the making, I’m releasing my first ever novel to the world in the first week of July 2025 ☺️

I originally wrote this as a screenplay many years ago and slowly turned it into a novel back in 2015-16. Between then and now, life took other paths, but a few months ago I decided to revisit it and am self-publishing on amazon (details to come).

The song has featured on the soundtracks to the films Montenegro, Tamation and Thelma & Louise.

It's a bit of a long story as to how the idea to write this came to me, regardless, I’m so excited that it’s finally here and that I can share it with the world!

2025 seems like the year of re-branding, re-booting and going within to explore the passions and creative outlooks that we’ve been ignoring. I feel like since I started this website, which was once just a blog where I turned to in order to make sense of the world, that I needed to pull it all down and start again to get some of my stories I’ve been penning late at night for many years out there. Over the coming weeks I’ll be sharing more and more and towards the end of the month, have something exciting to share with you all. Thanks to those who have been there all along and for those who are new, welcome!
