My Bio
Greetings traveller. Welcome to my gallery.
I'm a literary and visual artist (hence the 'varied' above), with a slight lean towards the written word. Been a member on here for some years, but only actively so for the last few. I'm not a regular poster - my work/commute schedule does not lend itself to reliability - but I do try and get on here at least once a fortnight to swing through the forums etc. DeviantART is a community after all
For anyone reading this whose interested primarily in my writing (and has an e-reader), you might be well advised to head on over to my Smashwords page here www.smashwords.com/profile/vie… where you can find my work available to download in almost any format you can imagine.
Titles include:
My newest endeavor the 'Cult of the Butterfly', which a friend lovingly coined my 'drag queen witches thing'
. Chapter one is featured opposite.
'The Star Plague Journals', my four book cyber-fantasy, now complete. You can find a sample chapter from book one 'The Orphans Revolt' here fav.me/d98csqu
'Harlem's Deck', whose first chapter 'Fairground Attraction' (fav.me/d7rie6d) won me a DD from the kind people of the lit community
'Filthy Gore' (what it says on the tin - sex and violence, with a paranormal twist). 'Black Orchid' is the most recent addition to this set. It can be found here fav.me/d9f0ya4 and here fav.me/danrgxo
Anyway, thanks for washing in on the serf. Enjoy your look around x

So I've been gone for some time. Work became manic, then I got made redundant. Then I went back to studying. There've also been a couple of family emergencies thrown in there, for good measure.
Things are starting to look (and feel) a little more normal again. And I've a few bits I've been working on to preserve my sanity across the last half year that will soon be ready to share. The gallery will open its doors once again soon.

Enough Cult for now...

For those of you that watch/read my stuff, you'll find four chapters of Cult of the Butterfly waiting for you in your stacks. I wanted to get them out there as they bring the story to a conclusion (of sorts) for those of you who have been following it.
I've taken the serial fiction thing as far as it will go with these guys. Further work now will be to turn it into a decent novel.
So while I'm not by any means done with Seb, Murder and the rest, there isn't likely to be any more from them here. If/when I am done with the novel thing I'll make sure I put a post up to announce, for those of you that like your fiction nicely formatted with a p

A very talented friend of mine has written this. As someone who suffered with depression and self harming when I was younger it's a subject close to my heart.
Give it a look, the poetry at the beginning in particular is beautiful
