What book or books have you published or are working on at the moment?

My novel, “0w1:believe” has just been published. It’s a supernatural political horror story, set in my home city of Bristol and is part one of a three-part series. Think of it as ‘1984’ with bestial demons and vampire priests. It follows a group of young political dissidents, called The Group, who are artists and coders. They are committed to social change through non-violence and are inspired to this commitment by the White Rose Movement, who stood against the Nazi Regime in Munich (1942/43).

You may recall the film ‘Sophie Scholl: The Last Days’ (2005 – Marc Rothemund). The White Rose were a group of students who wrote pamphlets and painted graffiti on public buildings, saying things like “Hitler is a Murderer”. They were caught, interrogated, tried and executed (by guillotine) in the space of four days.

I’m working on publicizing the novel at the moment and have dedicated the next six months of my life to it!

In terms of writing, over the last few years, I’ve been working on backstories for the novel. These are written by different character: Strix, and his parents Jack and Shula. It’s a little like an actor getting into character for a role. They each have different characteristics as writers.
