Greetings & Salutations...

Greetings & Salutations...
Ah, the obligatory introduction-what to say without boring the hell out of you all...

I'm an original Batcave-era Goth (God, that makes me feel old...), and am currently located in 'the land that time forgot' (Norfolk), after having recently relocated from Camden, London.

I juggle my time between working at the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary/Birds-of-Prey Centre with penning dark psychological thrillers.
In 2005 I was fortunate enough to secure a three-book paperback deal with Pegasus Publishers.

My debut novel 'Redemption' (ISBN:1843862549) was released in 2006 to some measure of success, with my second novel 'Dominion'
(ISBN:9781843863854) following in October '07.

The third & final contracted novel is currently a work in progress...

I look forward to bumping into you around the various forums & would welcome the contact via:

Apologies! Real-life getting in the way of virtual reality again I'm afraid! ;-)
Still working full-time whilst attempting to put the finishing touches to my latest literary offering! (Alas it's currently progressing at the pace of an arthritic tortoise...) :-(

Will try & participate more! If I fail, give me a nudge! lol

Thanks for your missive, lovely to hear from you...

Re: My books - Whilst my books appear to be available in every major book-store on this side of the pond, I don't appear to have cracked the U.S marketplace as yet, which alas is where the money seems to be... (Hence my still working full-time.)

Re: Owl Sanctuary - I'm not really 'hands-on' , as I was at the RSPCA or Battersea Dogs Home etc. I just write the 'blurb' for their newsletters, local press releases, website etc...
We currently have over 60 raptors, along with red squirrels, chipmunks, ferrets & even a couple of dogs! (People keep dumping unwanted animals on us!) Sad but true...

Ok, got to dash (running late).
Have a great week.

Visit us when you can. Sweet Hindu has also been told by myself that real life gets in the way of visiting HF!
As for folks dumping their pets at a Sanctuary, as sad as that is, it is a very responsible thing to do. Cold hearted people in the US, troubled by the horrible economic conditions, leave their foreclosed homes and leave their pets behind to starve to death - how cruel is that??? So next time someone drops off an animal, be happy that they are mature and sensitive to do that!

You really have some major responsibilities on your shoulder WaSRockz. You can come here when ur free. RH, I understand all you guys have more work than school studying me. YA I can only enjoy my time for a year only Yaar.

Batcave era, huh? Does that qualify for Elder-Goth? ;)
Kidding, kidding.
Welcome to Horror Forum! We're all mad here, so pull up a chair, have some tea, and beware the Jabberwock. :)
Being a bibliophile, I'm going to have to stop at my local library soon and inquire after your books. They sound marvelous.

"Batcave era, huh? Does that qualify for Elder-Goth?" ;)

Alas so...
I've had to swap moisturizer for embalming fluid! :-)

Thanks for the interest in my novels-hope that you enjoy them...

Have a good weekend.
