Somewhere between fiction and reality.
I started writing because I wanted to escape into a world of self-indulgent fantasy. Turns out, the best stories don’t take you away from reality—they make you see it differently.
From the raw, restless energy of Hoodie to the slow-burning suspense of A Tangled Web, my stories dig into the messy side of life—identity, obsession, and the fine line between what we perceive to be true and what’s actually reality.
Sometimes it’s gritty, sometimes it’s surreal, and sometimes it’s just a kid wondering if the lines on his palms mean something.
A Tangled Web
When passion meets obsession, and past meets present, it’s bound to get messy.
Luke’s a tech-savvy loner who spends his days lost in lines of code, artificial conversations and hacking colleagues’ online chat to keep up with office gossip. But his world is turned upside down when new COO Estelle arrives at his firm’s London HQ.
Estelle is everything Luke is not - charismatic, ambitious, and alluring. As Estelle pulls Luke from his digital cocoon, he provides her with the inside track needed to navigate the firm’s male-dominated hierarchy.
Behind closed doors, their passionate alliance blurs the lines between love and obsession and, as buried secrets claw their way to the surface, leads towards dramatic consequences that keep the reader guessing who’s the predator and who’s the prey until the very end.
Hoodie
Coming of age. Coming undone.
Ben Chapman crashes out of school on the last day of term, pockets stuffed with drugs stolen from Paddington Comprehensive’s most dangerous dealer. To his mates, the Shady Boys, he's simply 'Hoodie', and this summer, he's convinced, will be his transformation from schoolboy to man.
But beneath that trademark hooded top lies a young man dangerously intoxicated by his own potential. As Ben navigates the brutal realities of job interviews, first love, and the violent world his theft has unleashed, his lavish dreams begin to shatter against the unforgiving streets of West London.
What starts as a summer of freedom becomes a devastating spiral into violence that will test every friendship and destroy everything Ben holds dear. When loyalty becomes a fatal flaw, and a moment's recklessness demands the ultimate price, Ben must dig deep to discover who he really is. And whether that's enough to save those he loves.
Set against the backdrop of contemporary London, where middle-class dreams border concrete realities, Hoodie is an unflinching portrait of friendship, identity, and the tragic gap between adolescent ambition and adult consequences.
A powerful and heartbreaking story of wasted potential and misplaced loyalty, Hoodie is a modern tragedy played out on Britain's streets.
Perfect for readers who appreciated the raw honesty of Trainspotting and the authentic London voices of Top Boy.

Throughout a really good book that focuses on the youth cime issue in the UK, and it makes you think twice about judging and isolating people different from yourself.
