The True Thomas Papers (2025)
ISBN: 979-8290140476 – – – 220 Pages

The True Thomas Papers: Queer Identity and the Wandering Minstrel
The Ballad of Thomas the Rhymer tells the tale of a Minstrel who was taken to the Land of Faery for seven years. But why? What did the Queen of Elfland see in True Thomas, and why did he leave so readily?
Based on PhD findings, The True Thomas Papers is a multi-voice artistic and intellectual exploration of Thomas the Rhymer and Wandering Minstrels in general, and their potential as archetypes of Queer self-identity in modern western society and beyond. Can the Minstrel help us to understand ourselves as fluid and multicoloured creatures in a rigid, black and white binary world?
“Stonkingly novel and accessible” – Dr Richard Talbot

Multiplastic (2025)
ISBN: 979-8301246654 – – – 97 pages

Multiplastic: A Poetry Collection
Multiplastic: that which takes many shapes. Just like the poems in this book. And their author.
Multiplastic is a blob of putty. It can be any shape. It can look like almost anything and still be a blob of putty. And when it’s had enough of being that shape it can become a blob again, or a different shape. The possibilities are endless, as long as the putty doesn’t dry out.

The Dionysian Spirit (2012)
ISBN: 978-1906958657 – – – 158 pages

The Dionysian Spirit
For many people Dionysos is an obscure Greek god of wine and theatre. For others he is so much more. The Dionysian Spirit examines, in an easy and accessible form, the essence of what Dionysos is all about, both as a deity and as a cultural and social force. It looks at the relation of Dionysos with his opposite number Apollo. The twin gifts of Apollos and Dionysos are ekstasis (ecstasy) and entheos (enthusiasm) and have informed and enlivened our lives and cultures from ancient times right to the present day and beyond. The Dionysian Spirit like the art of a good party has always been with us and now, in many ways, we need it more than ever.

Available in paperback or Kindle from Amazon, or in paperback from Mandrake UK
