Working Pages Home

Writing, in my opinion, is a process. It starts in my mind with the synthesis of an idea, then germinates on a blank page and grows and grows over days and weeks as my pen scribbles out dialogue and plot, themes and metaphors until finally it reaches a point to where I come up with something that can be read and enjoyed in a first draft. It’s the second draft that I find hard to complete.

So over this year, I’ve been using an area of the website called “Working Pages” to share some of the first drafts I’ve been working on. This is the way I want to share some of my more interesting ideas of fiction with the world. There aren’t a large number of titles at the moment, but my goal is to continue this throughout the years as my writing evolves.

Also, check out some of the sketches that I’ve drawn for various stories on Flickr.

Here below are the titles that have been published since the beginning of 2009:
