Works In Progress
Current
My first novel is a coming of age tale in late-80s rural England, exploring teen anger, loss, guilt and sex, with folk horror and sci-fi elements; rave, pills, booze and broken hearts.
I’m also working on an anthology project connecting queerness with magic, New Agery, and the humdrum of suburban life innit.
Etc.
Current
Outside of writing fiction, I recent published works on dogs, queer heroes, drag culture, and Princess Diana.
Big turn ons are: English folk horror, vintage queer-edged film and lit, myths & legends, buddy movies, screenwriting, photography, dogs, magic, sandwiches, and Australiana.
