Some Creative Projects

In 2021 began running the Hammer Gothic Twitter account – indulging one of my biggest passions, Hammer Films, and preparing for a few related projects on the horizon. Give it a follow @HammerGothic.

Pleased to be continuing my professional association with my friend and colleague Robert JE Simpson, of Avalard Publishing. In particular, it was a privilege to have been of some small help in preparing the final manuscript of his new book, The Willing Fool: The Spectacle of The Wicker Man. Buy here (paperback, hardback, ebook).

Prayingwithjesus.co.uk makes the Scriptural Rosary available free online, along with other prayers, litanies and spiritual resources. The project has developed out of friendship with an online, ecumenical prayer group, brought together by Brother Finnian of the Society of St Francis.
