I like a challenge, I particularly like a challenge when I watch TV. I like to not know everything that's going to happen next. There have been things I have watched over the years that have truly shocked me, I like to be shocked - up to a point, there also has to be s...

I LOVE graphic Novels. I used to collect Batman Graphic Novels and I have a real Batman 'fetish' its fair to say - although its more of a life long love affair. Aside from Batman Graphic Novels I also love Alan Moore's Watchmen, which I discovered when I was 13 years o...

Sorry I have been a little overwhelmed with the whole getting published thingamebob but now I am back to being just whelmed in a regular way - adjusting to life and a new career as a writer.
