Hi
Welcome to my Secret Diary of a Geek home page. Here you will find lots of geeky information, so please have a browse around. I am a web and application developer, and published author.
If you are looking for something a bit less technical you might be interested in reading some of my fiction, but only if you are old enough.

Please enjoy and contact me if you have any comments.
