Simon Jay is a true Sand Grown ‘Un, which is something not a lot of people living in Blackpool can actually attest to.
Simon is a qualified Baker and Chef. He also has a history in graphic design, art, theatre, and lighting. He also spent many years as a club DJ and remixer, brandishing a number one hit in Prague.
He enjoys all forms of horror from the ridiculous to the ultra scary. Comics to film. He believes the genre is capable of telling any story about any subject.
He is currently attending a degree course in English. He hopes to one day get published and be taken seriously as a writer.
