The Sexual Compass

I wrote a short novel called The Sexual Compass. You can find our more about it and see some reviews on its Goodreads page. The book also has a Facebook page. If you’ve read the book and you enjoyed it, please, please, please post a short review somewhere or give it a rating.


Computer Programming

I have some experience with programming, and I spent a lot of 2020 updating my skills in that area (Unity/C#, Java, JavaScript etc). See my YouTube channel for details on that.

Other interests

I can play the guitar and I’m into MIDI sequencing. My current DAW of choice is Tracktion Waveform running on Linux. I also get up to some other stuff like photography, cycling and running and going out at night and dancing like an idiot.
