Welcome

this site contains novels, books in verse
I’ve also penned musicals, operas and worse
I’ve done it my whole life and don’t know why
the pen hits the paper and out they fly

first, I've a new show
that could be yours
click here to watch
"between the wars"

there’s World Of The Wicked a comic affair
set amid the dazzling islands, where
Georgio and Maria meet once, before
they’re tossed into a world at war

The Andy Parvin Story is painful fun
a trip through swinging sixties London
where young folk, against their parents’ advice
are building a new hippy paradise

my dad wrote songs, so I write them too
about people, how we feel and what we do
hence the secret lives that throng
in the rhyming stories of All Summer Long

one day I awoke in bleak frustration
why the universe, why me, what’s going on
so I studied till lights flashed in my head and bells rang
and my hand scrawled a nonfiction book in verse, The Whole Shebang

for 50 years I've written songs galore
for operas, shows, for bands, for the stage
some are uploaded (and I will add more)
onto the Music Page
