My story from Twisted: Ghosts of Christmas is Mr. Grin
My background is scriptwriting and have had three feature length screenplays produced (Age of Kill starring Martin Kemp; We Still Steal The Old Way starring Ian Ogilvy; and Essex Boys sequel, Bonded By Blood 2). Age of Kill gave me the opportunity to write the tie-in novel and this was my gateway into longer form writing. Since then I have had short stories published in anthologies including Twisted’s Evil Little Sister and Twisted 50 Volume 2. More recently I have become interested in directing short films, three of which screened at Southend’s annual Horror-on-sea film festival. During lockdown I wrote a children’s story with my daughter and finished a draft of a novel, which may just be the darkest story I’ve written to date.
