Profile
40 something local government worker who splits his time between family commitments, playing guitar in a nasty noisy underground band, writing, taking pictures, and running Gibboncore publishing.
The first Gibboncore title Blunt Wound Trauma ISBN 978 1 907015 00 7, which is an anthology of my own short stories, was published on the 9th of February 2009.
The next scheduled title is 10 Minute Tales which will be an anthology of 10 short stories from a range of writers around the world.
Check out Gibboncore for full details of both books and future releases.
