The greatest living failed writer.

My dear little ghosts, thank you so much for visiting my website. I am a writer living in the ghoul-haunted woodland of London, England. My work has not been published in some of the most prestigious journals in the world, including the New Yorker, the Paris Review, AGNI and many others. On my website, I will share news, links to previously published works, my world-famous rejection counter (updated almost daily!), as well as free stories and content.

A brief note to express my sadness and distress at the passing of David Lynch. He was a singular artist, whose strange vision of the world was unique, unparalleled, and unsurpassed. Although I found much to enjoy in all of his work, Mullholland Dr. in particular had a seismic effect on me. It is a film of oneiric and exquisite beauty that I often find myself returning to, and has had a huge impact on my life and writing. Lynch has, and will continue to, influence many filmmakers and artists. Particularly as people continue to disentangle its strange and labyrinthine meanings, his work will live on. “In Heaven, everything is fine.”
