Bram Stoker Award, British Fantasy Award and Bridport Prize finalist. Creator of 'a Quiet APOCALYPSE'. Anthologist at Flame Tree Press. I do not use generative AI in my work; nor do I support its use in the arts.
Happy 35th wedding anniversary to the awesomeness that is Mrs Jeff. My bestie, my soul mate, and one of the kindest people to ever grace this planet. Love you. Always xxx

I bought this a while ago and finally watched it today. I think I was in need of a life-affirming movie, and this certainly hit the spot. It has its flaws but, then again, so does life. Genuinely loved it.
Book mail. Author copies of books one and two in the Beatrice Beecham series. Out now from Crossroad Presss imprint, Otherside Press.

Ooh, @tepaetawhitiawards.bsky.social mail, courtesy of my dear friend and co-finalist, @leemurraywriter.bsky.social Thank you!! The motherboard ‘bookmark’ finalist trophy is very cool, indeed. Have a great day, everyone xxx
Whenever I begin to question my value as a mentor of genre fiction, I look at this and think that, maybe, I should ignore those doubts.
Kevin R McNally (Pirates of the Caribbean, Supernatural, Dr Who) with a copy of my dystopian outing Monument: The ‘a Quiet Apocalypse’ Omnibus. So grateful that Kevin is a huge fan of the series, enough to write the foreword to this latest volume. What a star, in every sense of the word.
Me. Looking as bemused as I usually do on panels. This time at Sykehouse Film and Writer’s Festival.
Well, whatever happens tonight, we’ll still have this … #StokerCon #bramstokerawards

It’s been quite a year for this title. Three years in the making, and now we remain awed by people’s reaction to it. Thank you to everyone who has supported this important project. You’re incredible, one and all.

As I’m in the UK, I may require caffeine, but I’ll give it a go. Late nights and crushing disappointment, it’s all good practice for the World Cup 😀

We find out in two weeks BUT, no matter what the outcome, I’m incredibly proud to have been part of this project. Thank you to my dear friend and co-editor Lee Murray, our fantastic contributors, and the one and only Flame Tree Press. Have a great day, everyone xxx
Well, this happened today! Congratulations to all the other finalists, in every category!
