about me

Like you, I write. To prove it, I even uploaded chapters from my third novel. (Not a book relating to DcA.) This one is called "Loser". It's a self-portrait painted upon a broken mirror. If you enjoy it, let me know. If you think it's shit, I'd like to know that too.

My advice for newbies:
1) Never take advice from other writers.
2) See above
3) Always flush the toilet and put the seat back down. If you're the kind of writer who likes to go the extra mile, light a match.

This is a character driven roller coaster ride through the badlands of a tortured mind. A hooker, a cannibal, a talking stuffed monkey, four mental patients and a beat up canary-yellow Volkswagen Beetle. Some will cry, some will fry, but they'll all attend the feast of Angels.

And yes, there will be clowns ...

And a sequel.

Seriously.

With girls.

And a cauldron.

And hillbillies with big guns.

favourite books

In no particular order:
Haruki Murakami - (Japanese or English) Everything he's written

Tom Robbins "Still Life With Woodpecker" and everything else by him.
Christopher Moore "Lamb" Ditto: All of his stuff too.
Chuck Palahniuk "Invisible Monsters" Yup. All of it.

Love old school Fantasy i.e., Jordan, Tolkien, Feist, Donaldson.
