Artistic Statement
Pulp That Probes.
I write adventure stories. I love a good kitchen sink drama or well constructed Greek tragedy as much as the next bloke but my heart never beats harder than it does for young heroes on quests, discovering the difference they can make in the world, learning what they're made of as they do battle with evils within and without. The settings can be a pirate ship, a medieval forest, or a mythical fantasy world, the fundamental humanity of these stories stays the same. I don't believe that just because a story indulges in the tropes of an adventure genre that it can't also explore serious moral, philosophical and political questions along the way, hence Pulp That Probes. Also we can laugh a bit.
