It has been ages since I’ve done a post about myself and my books. I decided to make an author introduction video, not because I’ve had any new followers lately (a few) but because I’ve been reaching new readers through my videos, so I thought I’d let everyone know a bit about myself as an author and publisher and about my books.

My books and me

Of my currently published titles, I have 6 novels, 3 short story collections and 3 poetry books out in the literary world. My next novel, The Wabi-sabi Doll, is due for release on 15th September and I’m currently writing a ghost horror novel, though I’ve been lazy lately and haven’t worked on it for a week – woops!

Aside from writing my own books, I’m the editor in chief of Bindweed Anthologies, which is currently open for Yuletide ghost horror short story submissions – please send along your fiction until October 1st for an exciting Christmas horror collection to be published in November 2025.

That’s all for now. I should hopefully be back to posting more regularly since the summer holidays are almost over, so I’ll be back to a more structured schedule soon. For now, have a great weekend folks!
