Writer and Director of the short film “South East Cleaning Services” (2010).

 

Edinburgh International Film Festival Programmer for fiction feature films.

 

PGD in Screenwriting from Screen Academy Scotland.

 

A screenwriter from an early age it was advice from the crime novelist Ian Rankin which persuaded me to start writing short stories and novels.

 

When I wrote screenplays they were for the films I wanted to watch, now I write the stories I want to read. I like my stories to be extreme, whatever the genre, whether that be dark humour, or extreme horror or thrillers.

 

Having completed my first novel, I am currently working on releasing a collection of short stories as well as starting on my second novel.
