I was born in downtown Toronto in 1979, the product of a merger between a Cockney Lad and a Geordie Lass that resulted in a typical Aries who came out of the delivery room with a chip on his shoulder and an overactive imagination.

A glutton for punishment, I've been involved heavily in both the music business and film business for well over a decade. I writes incessantly, putting on paper as many stories and ideas as time will allow. The literary business is a welcome change, since I writes as if my life depended on it anyway.

My debut novel, Bait, a dark psychological thriller about a group of strangers who find themselves stranded on a deserted island, was published by Penguin Books in the US and Canada this past August 27 2013, and by Penguin UK September 13 2013. Publishing rights have also been acquired in Brazil, Czech Republic, Greece, and Bulgaria.

My second novel, HUSK, has been commissioned by Penguin UK and will be released July 30 2015. Get it here: http://ow.ly/PYoXr
