Bio
Ocht well, here I am. An Ayrshire lad that decided to try his hand at fictional writing. I think a blog will a great way to get some of my work recognized and, well, maybe even take me places in the future.
I decided to name the blog “Phantasmagoria”. It’s been a favoured word of mine for a while now. I actually have a running joke with a friend where I try to include it in just about every piece of writing I do, so when he reads it, I always hear an outcry of laughter and I just know he’s read it.
I’ve got a few things on the go at the moment, from swashbuckling sea-fairing pirate adventures, to more serious sci-fi space-age battles. The latest edition to my repertoire is a gritty Scottish murder-thriller set in Glasgow, present day, and follows the main male protagonist, Jo-Jo, on a journey of self-destruction and discovery. An out-of-work, mid-20′s recreational drug user who becomes homeless and witnesses a murder in Glasgow on the night of the George Square Market Fair.
Recently, I’ve been spending a LOT more time on this than anything else I’ve done so far. That must mean it’s good, surely? It all seems to fall into place a lot more easily. Maybe it’s because I’ve never travelled at light speed between solar systems, fighting alien species; or sailed the seven seas in search of the infamous Black Hollow Island with an Admiral of the Black chasing me hard-a-starboard.
It’s a blog of excerpts from my latest piece so stay tuned for snippets from this witty Scottish murder-thriller. I hope you all enjoy my writing and I’ll try to add it as much as possible.
