MY NEW NOVEL, 'SERIOUS THINGS', IS AVAILABLE NOW IN HARDBACK. Welcome to my website! Please forgive the accountancy-firm blandness of the design. The white spaces matter less than the black shapes inside them. This site is dedicated to my fiction. Inside you will find the following... THE SHIP OF FOOLS: my first novel. ARTS AND WONDERS is available in paperback. So is GHOST PORTRAIT. SERIOUS THINGS is out now in hardback. PLANET ACTION, or what I got up to in the jungle. LINKS to sites on Bosch and Bruegel: the background to The Ship of Fools. CONTACT. The shortest - & so perhaps the most pleasing - page of all. I hope you enjoy your visit. Please remember that all the material here is under copyright. Apart from the words. I don't own the words. Only the order they come in. INFINITE SPACE - my blog - is up and running.
