Writing credits

I started writing fiction 'seriously' in 2003 (not the best timing as a few months later I promptly headed off on a year-long round the world trip). I've also flirted with writing comedy for TV and radio and the stage in the past. Below is a fairly random list of successes.

Recent publications

November 22nd (Your Messages anthology, Bluechrome Publishing, January 2008)
Fallen Fruit (Image Coal anthology, Leaf Books, February 2008)

Short fiction

Holding On (Twisted Tongue magazine, December 2007)
Shopping Lists (Defenestration magazine, August 2007)
The Weekly List (short-listed for Fish Publishing Short Story Competition, 2006)
David's Haircut (published on the East of the Web website. Now being developed into a short film and used on the reading curriculum for schools in Washington State, USA, 2005)
Message Received (Orange Labyrinth competition first prize, 2004)
Last Christmas At Hawthorne House (Sur in English, 2004)

I have written and performed in comedy shows at several venues in Bristol, including early versions of The Sitcom Trials, which was developed into a TV series for ITV1.

Non-fiction

The Road More Travelled (a travel book about my journey around the world. This was finished in 2006 and is now seeking a publisher.)
