The following is a brief listing of the projects that I am either currently working on or planning to write. Some of them will never see the light of day, others will change radically as I develop them. If you are interested in being kept up to date with my current works as well as any publishing news be sure to sign up for my newsletter on this site's homepage.

     

KATJA FROM THE PUNK BAND

Short N*vel | 45K

Info
A short industrial crime n*vel that revolves around a chemical vial that is being smuggled from an island to the mainland. A varied cast of characters including a punk guitarist with a tracheotomy tube, a videogame playing junkie and an obsessive-compulsive gangster amongst others intermingle in a multi-layered plot of theft and deception.

First draft complete at just over 45K.

 

MOLLY

Short N*vel | 55K

Info
A short n*vel about a girl named Molly who gradually covering herself in tattoos of burn wounds who shares an apartment with a flatmate that has moved beyond anorexia and now infects herself with diseases in order to lose more weight. A series of fugues that Molly suffers leads her to believe that something awful has happened in her past, in a world that was destroyed when Kurt Cobain ended his life in April '94.

First draft complete at around 55K with a couple of scenes missing. Current plan is to expand to more of a n*vel length to give it more potential.

 

     

DIRTY BOMB

Info
The story of the mythology of a revolution told from two sides. Two people, trapped in a porno-enterntainment complex by an addiction to a custom-designed drug, plan to escape the grasps of the pseudo-gangster that runs the place. One of them conspires with an alchemist to alter his body chemistry to allow the other to feed from him but they are caught up in the actions of another alchemist who seeks to create a virus that can addict people to his drugs. Meanwhile a group of revolutionaries call upon the mythology of their long-dead leader to finally strike out against their oppressors. The stories collide explosively.

Work is continuing on the first draft, word count currently lies at about 85K.

 

GUERRA

Info
A lone broadcast pirate is forced to wage a media war against the various crews operating within a city after the death of an ex-girlfriend and subsequent propaganda campaign against her. Whilst launching his own media viruses to combat them he begins to question his own memories and if in fact they are as much a victim of propaganda as anything else...

Still in early stages of development - currently sketching out characters and plotlines as they occur to me.
