Projects…
Meanwhile, what have I been doing with my life up to now? The answer is…unsure. But here’s a few things of significance according to me…
- I spent 2017 publishing a story a week for the pleasure of your eyeballs. These #52Stories have been made into a lovely book containing all said previous eyeball pleasure in one handy dead tree. Go buy my words here.
- I’m in the middle of doing lots of gigs with The Bleeding Obvious, mainly just to terrify myself. Come see me have a nervous breakdown here!
- Co-writer of The Pint Files. A literary indulgence between two writers inspired by Hagswobbling and Strangebow. Originally an episodic adventure on Facebook, I’ve now put it here for ease of reading. But if you have a total, like, Facebook fetish then you can read AND LIKE (!) (*pretty please, smiling sweetly face*) it here.
- Script adaptation of Rivers of London novel, by Ben Aaronovitch, and director of the recording of said adaptation with Yew Tree Youth Theatre, currently in post-production. Watch this space! (or somewhere around it).
- Contributing writer for Jack Frost’s Library as part of the ‘1000 Snowflakes’ installation in Ossett Town Centre. You can read the story here.
- Founder of Made in Wakefield: An online hub for creative activity to showcase, inspire, and celebrate all things made in the Wakefield District by non-professional and professional creators, just because we can! After all, we are all equal in being able to create, what more do we need?! You can read more about what Made in Wakefield is for here and find it on Facebook And Twitter
- Author of The Naked Sheep of Ossett Town, a myth which inspired the ‘Flock to Ossett’ event, and was adapted and performed by Yew Tree Youth Theatre and storyteller Susanna Meese. You can read the myth in full here. This story was also published in Homespun Theatre’s ‘Homespun Threads’, an ebook of short stories to fundraise for their 2013 tour, which you can purchase here.
Amongst other things, I’ve edited books, written and produced music related podcasts, organised many musical jamborees, participated in the art of wool wrangling and making marks on paper, had a breakdown, psychologised the Hellenishness out of myself, and broken most of my life and then put it back together again (ongoing).
That’s about me, mostly. Thanks for coming, and please stay. I like the company.
