“There was no denying it – absolutely everyone who came to visit John agreed – it was simply the most beautiful penis that they had ever seen.”

This is the opening line of one of my short stories – Mightier Than His Sword – which no one wants to publish. Which is a shame as it would break the internet if The New Yorker would just see sense and give it the full Cat Person treatment.

It’s a very strange opening line. But, if anything, the story gets more strange after it. And it is also a parable for something else entirely, which may or may not be obvious.

I have a range of novels, short stories, graphic works, and other projects currently in development. I hope to be able to share some of these with you on these pages in due course.

Welcome

This is the website for A Arbor.

I am an author (who dabbles occasionally in other creative practices) living in an abandoned Ghost Train on the south coast of England.

I am Editor-in-Chief of DEGENERATE ART, a literary journal inspired by the visual arts.

Welcome to my worlds.
