I write - a lot. I’m currently in the zone of writing songs but there’s two new books on the horizon for late 2026. People sometimes ask what I do for money and the answer is, I run my own design company, but that happens somewhere else.

I also run my own publishing company here - Bad Hare Books. I publish in a 6x9 softback format because they look great, but sometimes I throw caution to the wind and rustle up some limited edition hardbacks too.

I’m probably best known (if at all) for my books - When The Music’s Over, The Day The Sky Fell Down, Cities of the Dead and Scenes From The Coffee House.

I’ve also got a track record as a magazine editor of over 17 years (Skin Deep tattoo magazine for 12 years/Burn music magazine for 5. Once upon a time, smart people at CNN, BBC and SKY would call on me to comment on things.

Let’s have some of that in numbers: I’ve written over 500 articles, edited/published over 200 magazines, written well over 1000 ‘incidental things’, been on TV/radio a dozen times, written 16 books and interviewed more people than I can actually remember but a ballpark figure would be at least 500.

I write longhand with a Waterman and songs with a Gretsch Black Falcon acoustic and a Blackwing pencil. A friend once described me as Byronesque, which may be the nicest thing anybody ever said about me.
