I write speculative thrillers about the systems that run our lives. 
Not the shiny sci-fi future, but the one we already live in - where a form says no, a database says you don't exist, and a private company owns your name.

I'm based in Dunfermline in Fife, Scotland. Ghosts In The Machine is my series about what happens when those systems turn predatory. The first book is The Deficit: Mother Knows Best - it's about digital exploitation, government process, and a mother who won't be deleted.

If you like cold bureaucracy, tech that bites back, and people who refuse to be filed away, you'll feel at home here.

His work is the Ghosts In The Machine series, a near-future thriller sequence about control, technology, and who gets owned when identities are bought and sold online. Book One, The Deficit: Mother Knows Best, is available now on Amazon, Kobo, and GoodReads

When he's not writing, he's in Fife trying to make sense of how the internet remembers everything and forgives nothing.

You can find him on Substack, Amazon, Kobo, and GoodReads.
