About Me

I have been writing for several years now. My main passion is music, however I also have a great love of all things film.

I have a music website online at Alt-UK.com and have been regularly updating it for near on 6 years now. If you too take an active interest in music then make sure you take a look some time.

I currently reside in Brighton, UK with my partner. We're both writers and it's us against the world as we battle it out to gain recognition in the world of writing.
