Biography
Hulford attended Hampton School. During that time he began writing in a range of media including poetry, fiction and role playing games.
After publishing in two poetry anthologies Hulford started researching a range of subjects for novels. As time passed he contributed to the printed magazines "Corduroy" and "Powerplay" before being signed to "The Rocktologist" online webzine. Somewhere within this he created the online webzine "Beyond" focusing on UK progressive metal band Threshold. More recently he began contributing reviews of live music to "Through The Wire".
Hulford has also launched his own written word promotions company called OnTheRail Promotions, launched a radio show called The Rock Show on Generate Radio based in Duns, Berwickshire, and then had his first novel published, "Tolosa Gold". This was followed by a poetry anthology, "Bitter Twists" and a non fiction gazetteer of British Battlefields is in the final pre publishing stages.
