What kind of content do you create?

I write and independently publish original fiction across several genres, including horror, military science-fiction thrillers and crime dramas. Each series is developed as a multi-format property, with companion podcasts and serialised audio dramas. Alongside this, I run Lanzarote Blogger.

How do social media platforms make a difference to your work?

They are central to how I build and sustain a readership, allowing me to engage directly with my audience, share the creative process behind each release and cultivate long-term loyalty. My core followers form an active and invested community.

Do you have many followers?

I have over 30,000 followers across my platforms, forming a steadily growing and engaged community built around consistent releases and direct interaction.

What is your relationship with Lanzarote?

My wife and I moved to Lanzarote 10 years ago to start a new life, and the island has since become an integral part of both my personal and professional life. Lanzarote is my creative environment and inspiration. Through Lanzarote Blogger, I actively promote a healthy way of living and working on the island.

What’s next on the horizon?

I am currently developing a new horror concept, alongside continued expansion of my existing series through new novels and podcast releases. I am also exploring a rebrand of my author identity. On the Lanzarote Blogger side, I plan to further build out content along the same lines.
