***************************************
The types of subjects I tackle are normally mature stories: biographical, historical, slice of life, though sometimes also fantastical stuff, especially magickal stories. I have worked with various excellent professional artists (such as Sakura Mizuki of the popular RING horror series and Mike Collins, art on Superman, Batman and Harry Potter, etc).
I am currently making inroads towards being published in Japanese also - in fact my first Japanese manga comes out on 'keitai' June 2008. Living in Japan means that I am obviously in a good place to create manga stories, working directly with Japanese artists.
