Welcome and thank you for visiting my website.
Acting has been my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve been fortunate to work across theatre, television and film, alongside developing another great passion of mine writing crime novels. This website is a home for both sides of my career.
Acting
Recently, I appeared in a new short film currently being entered into film festivals, and I also returned to my theatre roots by touring in a brand-new stage production.
Television viewers may also have spotted me in the BBC daytime drama Doctors.
One project I particularly enjoyed was the short film After Hours, where I played a leading role alongside Gary Shail, Brian Murphy and David Barry. It was enormous fun to make, and I’ve included it on my Acting Page for you to enjoy.
You can find more information about my acting work, along with clips and videos, throughout the Acting section of this website.
Crime Writing
Alongside acting, I write crime novels — gritty police procedurals set in South London, where crime is tough and the stakes are high.
My books follow a Murder Investigation Team led by DCI Paul Banham and DI Alison Grainger. Although the stories are fictional, I spend a great deal of time researching police work and criminal investigations to make the novels as authentic as possible.
My latest novel, The Burning Question, has received some wonderful reviews, which I’m hugely grateful for.
The story centres around a series of women targeted by a dangerous arsonist. The victims appear to have no connection, leaving the police desperate to uncover the link before another attack takes place. Meanwhile, a new police recruit knows more than she dares reveal, battling with a conscience that threatens to expose everything.
As Banham and Grainger clash over the direction of the investigation, a vital piece of information pushes the team closer to the truth — but also into terrible danger. And then comes a twist nobody sees coming.
Like all my books, The Burning Question is available through Amazon, local bookshops, and libraries.
My earlier novels are also still available, including the recently reissued:
- Behind You — set backstage during a pantomime, where actors are being murdered one by one.
- Secret Remains — a dark story involving a strip club murder, wrongful imprisonment, and a fresh killing spree twelve years later.
- Killer Looks — featuring a Marilyn Monroe obsessive who targets lookalikes… but why?
