about me

Dead Men, described by my agent Peter Buckman as an "inventive, original, and totally absorbing novel about love, obsession, life and death," will be published by Duckworth in March 2012. It begins with the finding of Captain Scott’s body in the Antarctic in 1912, and ends in the same place 100 years later.

Originally called Too Far For Dead Men To Walk, it, and all my other books, have now been deleted from authonomy. Thank you everyone who has read, and commented on, any of my work. You have been wonderfully helpful and kind.

I will occasionally read and be honest, as I always have been.

I first reviewed this over 700 days ago when I was still active on the site. It was a very good book then, and I note you've made some changes since then to make it even better. I really think an agent would look at this, an I urge you to submit it to some if you haven't already. HC should consider ... view book

Simon, the immediacy of your writing never disappoints. The set-up here is great, with undertones of regret and things lost. This is a book that would appeal to your target audience as well as their parents. Backed. And now I'm logging off again after 200-odd days away. Good luck with this. R view book

I think this is exquisite, but needs tightening up a lot so it really does read like a prose poem.
