My literary work seeks to understand the human condition, viewed through highly attuned neurodivergent and theological lenses. Below is a curated selection of my manuscripts, short fiction, and poetry.
Long-Form Fiction
Gristle
Exiled to his uncle’s sprawling country estate in the winter of 2004, an obsessively observant, neurodivergent boy adopts a silent rigour to survive the psychological warfare of his parents’ decaying marriage. But as a grotesque weekend of pheasant shooting and heavy drinking escalates, the fragile boundaries of his sensory and spiritual world are violently ruptured.
