I enjoy my horror with a supernatural and psychological flavour; my main inspiration comes from the workings of Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, HP Lovecraft, M.R. James. More recently I have focussed on short stories from a host of horror writers, many of whom I am privileged to work alongside on various projects. My most recent project was 'Between the Tracks - Tales from the Ghost Train,' which I edited and published under the Oz Horror Con umbrella. This is the first in what I hope will become a series of anthologies marketed as 'Things in the Well' publications. The next title will be 'Below the Stairs - Tales from the Cellar,' and if successful I plan to publish a couple of titles each year.
Prior to working on 'Between the Tracks,' I was series editor and contributing artist and writer on 'The Refuge Collection', a selection of 36 short stories about a mythical dystopian future shared-world set in a town called Refuge: Heaven to Some.. Hell to Others - All the proceeds for both anthologies went (and still do) to support refugees in need of help through two established charities: Sanctuary Australia Foundation and Refugee Action UK.
In 2013 I published 'Book of the Tribes - a Tribute to Clive Barker's Nightbreed,' and in the 1980s I was publisher and editor for a monthly magazine called 'Adventurer,' which is where my love of horror comes from.view less
