I began writing in the UK and international indy presses
in 1998 and quickly gained around 75 acceptances for my
short fiction.
After a while I came to the conclusion that I
had been writing the same shite as so many others had, replicating
stories that have already been written several hundred times
like some sort of semi-concious self-replicating virus, like
an infection. I began to feel my way around for fiction that
was more me and wrote partofit in part for my friend geoff
blake but found that I liked the style of it.
I thought about it a little more and decided that this was
an area I wanted to get into. I wanted to create a literary
version of what Trent Reznor does with NIN and started writing
some industrial stuff. Ignition was the
first piece to be completed and totally invigorated me. The
more I thought and wrote about industrial fiction the more
I knew I was doing something that interested and inspired
me but was also vaguely different.
The resulting collection I-O was published
in February 2002 by Prime Books of Ohio and has gone on to
be one of their more successful books and garner some rave
reviews. This was followed up in February 2004 by The
Decadent Return Of The Hifi Queen And Her Embryonic Reptile
Infection which was published as a split novella
by Eraserhead Press. Two new collections, one of industrial
fiction [Nothing
Is Inflammable] and one
of fetishcore fiction [Rohypnol
Brides]
were released in April 2006 by Prime Books.
My first n*vel, Pretty
Little Things To Fill Up The Void is finished
as well as a follow up short n*vel Katja
From The Punk Band.
I am currently at work on several other projects which
you can find out more information about here.
