Connecting team members, customers and stakeholders is crucial. And technology is only half the answer.

Games Writing & Narrative Design
I love using story to enrich game experiences, solve problems and turn bugs into features!
I’m equally at home working with existing IP or building new worlds. Get a taste of my work from these original concept samples, created during a 3-week sprint course with Into Games.

Creative Writing
I write screenplays, novels, short stories and non-fiction – plus the occasional poem!
Open to short and long-term contracts, collaboration and commissions, including editing and story development support.

Top Genres
Horror
Every October, I set out to watch 31 horror films. Current record is 27, thus I am yet to ascend to my full gothic form. But you can still ask about my favourites.
Humour
What’s red and invisible?
History
Specializing in Medieval Britain, Early Modern Europe and 19th Century Britain & USA. Dynamite research skills (and general nerdiness) can be applied to any period setting.
Mystery
Vacation Planning Shortlist: St. Mary Mead, Cabot Cove, Twin Peaks, Three Pines…ooh, or maybe Saint Marie, I could use a bit of sun.
