Grumbling Gargoyle

My studies in psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology and criminal law were most useful in substantiating my obsession with the darker side of the human psyche and much of my writing reflects this. My interests mostly lie in occult philosophy, mythology, parapsychology, archaeology, Egyptology, humour and pickled onions. As a keen activist for mental health awareness and having performed a stand-up comedy routine in aid of the 'Stand Up To Stigma' campaign, I am in in the process of writing a play, the aim of which is to fuse the comedy aspect with the reality behind the laughter. This is in the hope that it helps to reduce the discrimination attached to mental health issues.Darkness and Decaqdence was my first book in a poetry series for Wallace Publishing. Whilst continuing to work with verse, I'm also busy (slowly) writing my first novel. Inspired bya passion for cemeteries and the delightful residents thereof, this will be a tale of horror, heartache, hilarity, and hopefully a dead good read!
