Hi, I’m Brendon.
Writer. Photographer. Daydreamer.
My love of writing stems from a long-held desire to find a way of getting paid to daydream. Whether it be short stories, simple journalling or full blown novels, I love letting my imagination run free and asking myself ‘what if?...’
I wrote my debut novel, Hoodie, over 10 years ago. It's a gritty coming-of-age story that follows Ben as he crashes out of school, navigates first love, and struggles with his own identity as he seeks to establish himself in modern London. Now, I've just finished writing my second novel, A Tangled Web, which steps into psychological thriller territory and blurs the lines between obsession and love, passion and manipulation. It's a pacy page-turner and currently looking for a literary agent.
When I’m not wrestling with words, I’m wandering London's streets, camera in hand, capturing whatever catches my eye—the little details, the symmetry and fleeting moments that others walk past. For me, photography is just another way to tell a story - without the word count.
Take a look. Read a little. And if you’re a literary agent, let’s talk.
A Tangled Web
After the raw, coming-of-age world of Hoodie, my second novel takes a sharp turn into psychological thriller territory.
A Tangled Web follows Luke, a tech-savvy loner more comfortable with code than people—until Estelle arrives. She’s everything he’s not: charismatic, ambitious, and impossible to ignore. Their connection is intoxicating, all consuming… and dangerous. But who for?
As obsession and paranoia take hold, buried secrets claw their way to the surface. Who’s in control? Who’s being played? The lines blur until neither Luke—nor the reader—knows for sure.
I’m currently seeking literary representation for A Tangled Web. If mind games, power plays, and unfolding secrets are your thing, let’s talk.
Camden Market
Punk, paint, and everything in between.
Vintage stalls, street art, punks with mohicans, tourists in newly-purchased Doc Martens and music spilling out of every bar. I’ve been visiting Camden market for over 40 years now and still discover new layers with each visit.
It’s chaotic, vibrant, and impossible to ignore. And always good for a wander.
Photography
When I’m not lost in words, I’m lost in London—camera in hand, wandering aimlessly, chasing light, angles and whatever else catches my eye. No grand plan, no staged shots. Just perfect moments, frozen before they disappear.
I’ve grouped some of my favourites into six collections, each tracing a different piece of the city—North, South, East, West, Central, and, of course, the Underground that threads them all together. It’s London as I see it: eclectic, atmospheric, and constantly changing.
Tower Bridge
The old meets the now.
Tower Bridge is the city’s ultimate contradiction—tourists with selfie sticks, joggers who couldn’t care less, and history standing still while everything around it rushes forward.
And the Thames reflects it all, capturing London in constant motion.
Hoodie
Hoodie is a coming-of-age story about Ben, who’s stumbling through life after crashing out of school.
Job hunting is a nightmare, first love is complicated, and family secrets refuse to stay buried. But there’s something else—his rare simian palm lines. Could they mean he’s destined for something bigger, or is he just grasping at straws?
Blending gritty realism with a touch of the spiritual, Hoodie explores youth, identity, and the search for meaning in modern London—through Ben’s raw, restless, and deeply human voice.
