BIO
Born in Bath, England in 1974, a self-­professed “funny onion”, equal parts sport loving
jock and comic book geek. From an early age reading so many works of varied authors I took the somewhat foolhardy decision to attempt my own novels. I have currently completed three books, “Rapture Falls”, “Vengeance Has Fangs” and “Gated” all of which are available in eBook
format for download on Amazon. Perhaps one day I will be able to list my publishing achievements and literary awards, but for now I simply hope to have produced an interesting piece of work that entertains with a modicum of intelligence. I have always been an avid fan of the Horror/Supernatural genres and find that many great works in this field are automatically dismissed due to their subject matter.

SYNOPSIS
“GATED”
British couple, Michael and Emily Torrance lived perfect lives, he was a writer of horror
fiction getting paid for his hobby, and Emily was immersed in her life as a teacher. Their
world was complete when Emily fell pregnant and their family was set to be complete.
Their dreams however, were shattered one wet winter night by a car mounting a
pavement out of the darkness. To overcome their loss, they up sticks and move to Eden Gardens, an ideal American gated community promising “Heaven on Earth and Twice as Nice” They find that the town and people are perfection personified, all set beneath an eternal
sunny blue sky. The people are overwhelmingly warm and friendly. The town is picture
perfect, a beautiful throwback to a bygone age long since forgotten. Their lives and faith
are restored as they settle into Eden and their circle is complete when Emily falls
pregnant again. But are their neighbours stares a little too intense, is the town’s interest a little too close. They are about to find out that paradise comes a cost, and when you sign a lease,
you should always check the fine print.
