"I would hurl words into the darkness and wait for an echo.  If an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight."  Richard Wright, American Hunger

Oilspill dotcom is a political courtroom confrontation between a multi national corporation and two young activists who manage to defend themselves using a new and emerging tool – the Internet.

Oilspill dotcom is a fictional drama that closely parallels the famous McDonalds libel case, which captivated England through the 1990’s.  But it is also the transformation of a self-absorbed computer yuppie, motivated to act first by love and then by a belief in a better world.

A Gardener’s Tale provides a rare glimpse into the fast disappearing world of rural England and the ties that tenuously link the people and the land.  A description of the Pagan lifestyle, its struggle with the Church, and the love that can heal a family decimated by tragedy, and a village cast adrift by waves of modernization.  

Moreover, A Gardener’s Tale demonstrates that people can reach their full potential, even when not fitting into society’s strict social frameworks.

Writing for a Better World

I have been writing for 10 years.  A political activist since my early teens, I strive through my writing to highlight social and political injustice, and to inspire action for change. 

In a writing workshop, I once heard the phrase: transformational fiction. It never caught on, but I would like to fly its flag.
