  • A Journal for Damned Lovers Volume 2: Out Now!

        The second volume of A Journal for Damned Lovers is now available to purchase from Amazon! It’s in physical format, with the Kindle version set to arrive at a later date. I made a short video on YouTube where I share my thoughts and feelings regarding the occasion, as well as giving a… Read more

  • The Bottle

      It’s just before midnight, and she’s drinking straight from the bottle. It’s not very ladylike, but I’ve been doing it for years, and so who am I to judge? When she’s angry, she gets this red mist, and nothing I say can lighten her mood, so I just sit there looking at her like… Read more

  • Boy/Girl

      Through one door and out the other, there are flashes of light on your face and static charges that jump the length of my arm. Linking my fingers with yours, there are crowds of people that swarm around us as you try removing your clothes much to my annoyance. Teeth, Fingernails. Your smile as you… Read more

  • YouTube: The Artistic Act as Faith

      A video where I discuss how the creative act, namely writing, has become my faith. There are also readings of two pieces from the second volume of Damned Lovers, Dysmorphia and Not Lovers. I fuckup throughout this video, so it’s good for a laugh if nothing else. A Journal for Damned Lovers on Amazon.co.uk… Read more

  • Harmony

      80’s horror films and cups of tea that taste like that blonde girl I used to know at school, the one who had flaky skin on her fingers. The biscuits I eat taste like her as well. Those crumbly ones with the strawberry filling. At the school prom when we were both 10, she… Read more

  • YouTube: The Freedom of Failure

        Made a short video where I discuss the ‘freedom of failure’, and how it enabled me to become a better writer. Well, that’s what I’m hoping for, anyway. There’s also some plugging of the second volume of A Journal for Damned Lovers and talk about my fondness for candles. The second volume is… Read more

  • My Girl

      For an unspecified amount of time, I’m crawling on my belly through fields of wet corn and then in the blink of an eye I’m pissing down some alley walking back from the pub. When she dances up ahead visible only to me, the taste of smoke hits the back of my throat and makes… Read more

  • YouTube: Proof Copy of Damned Lovers 2

      A fifteen-minute video where I give my initial reaction on receiving the proof copy of the second volume of A Journal for Damned Lovers. I look smug in the still used here, but it was just that the sun was in my eyes. I’m kinda like a vampire, but more delicate and less lethal. A… Read more

  • Dark Wishes

      Beneath the moon, a swan dances for no one. Behind the curtains and beyond the clouds, we’re moving to an invisible beat as the town sleeps oblivious to our mischievous ways. We could go on drinking and fall into each other’s arms. We could kiss on the corner of the street and spit at… Read more

  • A Journal for Damned Lovers: Volume 2 – Proof Copy

      The proof copy of the second volume of A Journal for Damned Lovers came in the post today. It took me by surprise as it wasn’t expected to arrive until Wednesday. Instead of opening it straight away, I put it to one side and kept walking around it as if it were somehow dangerous.… Read more
