My face ain’t going to sell many books, but hopefully, my mind just might.

Hello there folks, as you may have noticed my site and social media profile only contains pictures of my silhouette (and it is my genuine silhouette). From what I have seen, this is unusual for an author’s website. I appreciate that being real and authentic is an important aspect of connecting with people. In terms of being authentic, I’m not particularly comfortable in front of a camera (which isn’t ideal for Instagram culture :-). However, turning this into a positive, without the pressure and inevitable awkwardness I’d feel in front of a camera, I can be more honest and authentic in the content I upload. Primarily I want the focus of my website and professional social media pages to be on my written work and create separation from my personal life. That being said, I still want to connect with people on an intellectual, psychological and emotional level. In terms of who I am, in summary, I’m a man child who drinks too many fizzy drinks, consumes entirely too much sugar and enjoys making puns. Outside of writing (and design etc.) I am juggling careers in both care work and psychotherapy.

A mere shadow of myself, but as you can see - I am a grounded individual

Next time I’ll tell you what my game is…
