My latest poetry collection, The Green Month, is out next week. Adapted from the work of the great Welsh poet Dafydd ap Gwilym, it celebrates love, desire and the natural world. I'll be launching it at Waterstone's, Aberystwyth on 23rd October, 7pm, in conversation with Professors Matthew Jarvis and Dafydd Johnston.

​

My third novel, Nocturne with Gaslamps, is now out from Neem Tree Press.

​

A historical crime fiction novel set in Victorian London’s gaslit theatre scene, where ghosts lurk in the shadows and murder takes centre stage.

​

Gaslight. Ghosts. Murder.

My next poetry collection, The Green Month, will be published by Faber and Faber in October 2025. It's a sequence of love and nature poems freely adapted from the work of the great medieval Welsh poet Dafydd ap Gwilym.

My book Depersonalization and Creative Writing: Unreal City, is out in paperback from Routledge. Depersonalization is a little-known but quite common condition which causes the world and / or the self to seem unreal. My study begins with a memoir of my experience of it in my 20s, which was closely linked to the beginning of my writing career. I go on to argue that it is a significant factor in many literary texts and offers some important lessons for writers. Read more about it here.
