about me

Hello, I am a 34 year old published poet at the beginning of the road to publication of my first novel: 'The Last Message'.
I've spent most of my adult life journeying solo around the world and having adventures both internal and external. I am in the middle of a successful diploma in Creative Writing at university and have the interest of a couple of small publishing houses for my novel but am waiting until I feel the 'click' of knowing for sure who's right for me and vice versa.

The novel is complete at 109,000 words.

Hi Scott, I really like your idea and the way you set the scene is nicely atmospheric. I love how you start with Lazarus become awake again, still in the ground. The first few paragraphs are excellent. Would you forgive me, however, for saying that the way you introduce Christ feels a bit cheesy to ... view book

Wow. I can understand why you've already had success with this online and look forward to buying it in hard copy when it comes out, which it will. Absolutely charming, fantastically well written (genuinely - not just saying that), unique, humerous and a future classic. Seriously, well done. I will ... view book

Hello Keith. I've read your first four chapters and enjoyed your style, especially your word placements.. - it creates a good sense of shock and grief. Your writing is blunt and that helps to create the atmosphere of loss aswell. It's like being punched in the chest. Well done and good luck. If you... view book

Hi Neville. A good idea and I like the theme. There is a slight problem with punctuation and grammar but that can be edited. Perhaps introduce more varied punctuation marks rather than just all commas. For example, your sentence: 'Anyone out and about early enough would have seen her on many occasio... view book
