Creative Projects

Alongside writing, I work on projects involving rugby, photography, theatre and video. Some are established interests, while others are ideas being developed. This is where you can explore them, see what I'm working on and, in some cases, help shape what happens next.

Ideas Beyond The Books

Rugby Management

What if a rugby game put you in the manager's seat rather than on the pitch?

Rugby Management is a game currently in development, built around the decisions facing an international rugby manager. Select your squad, judge form and fitness, choose tactics, manage injuries and discipline, and make decisions during matches as an entire season develops around you.

The project is still evolving, and rugby supporters, players, coaches, referees and gamers are invited to help shape it.

Photography

Places that become part of the story

Photography has long been one of my interests, particularly landscapes, travel and the character of places.

In recent years, many of my journeys have also taken me to locations connected with the Owen Stone novels. The photographs from those travels have become a record of the places behind the fiction, alongside images from Britain and further afield.

Creative Arts Media

More than fifty years of theatre, from the stage to the screen.

My involvement in theatre began when I directed a school production more than fifty years ago. Acting followed, then a return to directing and, eventually, creating productions that combined live performance with video.

Today, I create filmed sequences for local theatre productions and choirs, as well as recording complete shows using a four-camera setup and an ATEM video mixer. The aim is to preserve performances that might otherwise disappear when the curtain closes.
