about me
A pleasant-smelling English Boy living on a Mountainside on a little Scottish Island with a problematic book obsession. I have a degree in Botany and have done lots of different kinds of work that always seem to involve smelling flowers.
Ruben Ascending is a complete and finished work though only the first section is loaded on Authonomy. I am busy on my next work. There are many writers that I admire; the most important to me are the ones who project a sense of wonder, beauty or vulgarity into my world, like Borges, Ishiguro and Kundera.
It isn’t just books that I love, I am also distracted by good coffee, late flowering roses, the music of Vaughan-Williams, sincerity, burlesque dancers and French men, but that’s a whole other conversation.
I won’t back anything without reading it first, so please be patient if awaiting reciprocal attention.
