Biography

I am the Chief Editor and Publisher of The Ranfurly Review, and an Associate Editor at The Scruffy Dog Review, both of which are literary journals. I have published short stories, poems, non-fiction articles and reviews in both print and online publications.

My novel, Hunting Jack, was serialised in 2004 by US-based publisher Keep It Coming, and my first chapbook, Fringe Fantastic: The Poet's Experience of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, was published in paperback in December 2005 to critical acclaim. Poolside Poetry is my second paperback and was published in March 2007.

I have published three e-books of poetry; Brick by Brick in April 2005, Silly Poems for Wee People Vol.1 in March 2006, and Selektion in May 2007. Also in 2007, I edited my first anthology, Full Circle – An ARS Concordia Anthology.

I live in Edinburgh with my wife and daughter. Other intereste of mine include travelling (when I can squeeze it in), the search for silence, fake falling, quaffing, fly fishing, and animals.
