Author has written 63 stories for Matrix, Doctor Who, Batman Begins/Dark Knight, Batman, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Sherlock.

Please ignore my earlier delusional rantings. And probably any more recent ones as well.

I'm 27 and from the UK, currently living in Bristol. If I were on a game show I'd describe myself as "civil servant", which is frankly still hilarious to me. I never quite got around to being a lawyer, which was the original plan after doing all the damn expensive lawyer studying... I have three gerbils, two hamsters, one taxidermy squirrel, far too many books and several on-going crochet projects. I dip in and out of fandom obsessions, sleep too much when I can and cycle to work come rain or shine but am not the best at fixing punctures.

I don't pretend to be a great author but I like to dabble. Prior dabblings have revolved around BBC Sherlock (where my brain currently lives); Mycroft is my main obsession but I love all the characters. I also spent quite a while in the Bat-fandom and wrote some JokerxHarley type things in the Batman DCAU; I'd describe myself as on haitus from that fandom right now but we'll see.

Historical note: Goodness me, I once wrote rubbishy script-style "parodies" and message-board based self-inserts. I refer to the 2003-era below. I was young and reckless - sorry. I don't believe in destroying evidence, even of such horrific crimes, but I can only ask you to discretely avert your gaze. Like when driving past a really bad car crash. Keep movin' folks - nothing to see here.
