I am a new author who has just finished my first novel. I currently work in a busy office but would hope that my dreams of telling captivating stories for a living will eventually come to fruition. I currently reside in Glasgow with my wife, pet dog and rabbit. My loves are film and film making and I have written and directed a number of short films. I have always had a passion for writing and felt that the time is right that I attempt my own novel. My main influences would be horror and crime cinema from all over the world including Italy, Japan, China and the UK. My favourite authors would be Mario Puzo, Jack Ketchum, Mick Foley and James Herbert.
