About

I write stories where something is already wrong—people just haven’t noticed yet.

My work moves between contemporary fantasy and folk horror, drawn to places where something feels settled on the surface, but doesn’t quite hold when you look too closely. I’m interested in landscape, routine, and the quiet systems that determine what people are willing to live with—including the relationships people try to hold onto, even when something else has already taken root.

I’m the author of The Thornhope Chronicles, a series rooted in the North, where folklore lingers and the land remembers more than it should. At its core, my work is character-driven, exploring connection, loyalty, and what people are willing to risk for one another when the ground beneath them shifts. Alongside my writing, I work as an editor, supporting indie authors in developing voice, structure, and emotional impact.

By day, I’m a science teacher. That background shapes how I approach fiction, through observation, pattern, and cause and effect; though the answers don’t always lead where they should.

More recently, my work has leaned further into British folk horror, exploring the idea that sometimes the most unsettling things aren’t hidden, they’re simply understood differently by the people who live with them.

I live in the North of England with my family, where moorland, old mill towns, and the stories they carry still shape the landscape.
