Welcome to my website
You can find information about my novels, The Male Gaze (Picador 2007), Besotted (Picador 2010) and The Book of Air (Clink Street, 2017).
My latest project, Out of the Frame: poems on paintings, is an illustrated performance based on a series of poems I wrote during the first lockdown (March-June 2020).
You can also link to my blog, where I post from time to time on random subjects.
