The First Stone

Private eye Felix Strange doesn’t work homicide cases. He saw enough dead bodies fighting in Iran, a war that left him with a crippling disease that has no name and no cure. So when Strange is summoned to a Manhattan hotel room to investigate the dead body of America’s most-loved preacher, he’d rather not get involved.

The Rapture

Isaac Taylor isn’t missing. According to government records, he never existed. PI Felix Strange isn’t convinced, not least because Isaac is an old army buddy. Strange soon discovers Isaac isn’t the only one missing. All over the country, young and old, men and women, the good and the trying-to-be, are disappearing – quite literally without a trace.

The Children's Crusade

Felix Strange is working his last case. Across the American South, the militant Sons of David are on the rise. Their leader, the prophet Joshua, is leading a teenage rebellion, promising a new world to replace the sinful old. Strange’s mission, should he choose to accept it, is to assassinate Joshua.The problem? He’s twelve years old.

Developer

I'm a nose-to-tail web developer, with web experience in MySQL, Postgres, Python, Django, Java, and Javascript. I model databases, and build front and backend interactions, with scripting and real time engines thrown in. My work focuses on practice-led research in Mixed Reality and the Digital Humanities.

Recently I've become interested in using embedded systems and Mixed Reality in education and immersive theatre.

I'm currently Senior Research Software Engineer at King's Digital Lab.
