Hello and welcome to my page!
My name is Ricky and I am a London born, fantasy author of novels and short novellas. I am an author and speaker, who hosts creative workshops.
Starting out as a composer since graduating with a Ba(Hons) in music and multimedia in 2007, I worked for many independent short film directors, gaining notable IMDB credits. I then decided to embrace my earlier passion of creating stories, till this very day. My most notable novel is Gideon and the Crimson Samurai, which in July made it to the top 40 amazon rank in the whole country.
I have been found in blog features, radio shows, podcasts and even literature festivals. During book reading month, early in 2020, I led a creative workshop for the Black Cultural Archives. I also visited Whitehorse school in Croydon, to talk about the self-publishing journey, before leading a fun and creative workshop for the students.
Workshops
- Black Cultural Archives: Guest speaker and workshop leader (March 2020)
- Whitehorse Manor Primary School: Speaker and workshop leader (April 2020)

I have written 9 books and will soon release 2 more before the end of 2020. All my novels are fiction and are about amazing stories of love, friendship and hope. My most popular title is Gideon and the Crimson Samurai, a coming of age fiction adventure about 2 unlikely individuals, on a quest to find the answers they seek.
