It’s not the story that’s the thing; it’s the telling.

I’d love to be able to take credit for that quote, but as you probably already know it was said long ago by someone who isn’t me.  I like it though, and the theory runs as a persistent thread throughout all my writing.  After years of writing for zines and musical folk I’ve taken a bit of a swerve, and am currently developing my skills as a novelist, and if that’s the sort of thing that interests you then you taste a few samples littered about this blog.

As well as being a writer I have also worked as a photographer and herder of words for marketing purposes.  Oh, and I’m also a musician – I play bass in These Are End Times and ZEEB?
