I was born in the old BMH (British Military Hospital) in Spandau, in what was then West Berlin. Aging, insane Nazi, Rudolph Hess, had an entire floor reserved for when he required treatment. My father was in the Royal Air Force, based at Gatow. I was only 6 months old when we left to return to the UK. I grew up in Scotland, England and Cyprus, and now live in Glasgow.

I have been writing seriously since I was about 11 or 12, and throughout my teens I spent my time writing a series of bad horror novels. My fiction has appeared in various online and print journals, including Kill Author, Spilling Ink Review, Emprise Review, Metazen, and Fractured West.

I was a member of the Glasgow-based post-rock/garage/punk band Viola Dub from 2005-2006, during which time we released a 7″ single with industrial band Karhide on Field Records.

I now make experimental noise/drone/ambient compositions under the name Novak. I have released a few digital EPs in the last few years, available to download for free, because I’m the generous type.

Send me an email and say hello. You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter, should you so desire.
