about me


I have worked briefly as a tabloid journalist in the UK. I like my dark humor thriller character, Rudi Flynn, and I want to take him further.

Apart from 'Weimar Vibes,' which mirrors elements of 1930s German chaos in the UK tomorrow - and which won a gold star here on Authonomy - I have two more Flynn stories..

'Dark Clouds' follows an al-Qaeda activist who is planning a nuclear incident in central London, while 'Harps and Tears' features a loopy/disappointed in love US nuclear scientist. He's got a West Cork hideaway and he's doing something pretty awful for Islamic activists.

'Weimar Vibes' is complete at 80,000 words and Dark Clouds at 96,000.





favourite books

Henry Miller's 'Tropic of Cancer; JP Donleavy's ' Ginger Man'; James Joyce's 'Ulysses';a lot of Scott Fitzgerald; most of Primo Levi and recently, 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak.

I like His Pride, Her Prejudice, Aimee. It's a great idea and I think you carry it off very well. Your writing also has an inviting quality which starts at the beginning and keeps going. Backed with pleasure and good luck as you progress through Authonomy and also with finding an agent - Phil Rowan ... view book

It is difficult to pass on a Henry Miller fan, Tim. So I've had a look at Moonbeam Highway and I'm pleased to back it. I like your style of writing and wish you well as you go to collect your gold star and, hopefully, generate some agent interest in the very competitive fiction market. Good luck - P... view book

Great story, Joffrey - it takes me way back to an assignment in the Caribbean and a house where the Bond creator Ian Fleming worked. Backed with pleasure and good good luck on the agent front. view book

Great writing, Bob, and an unputdownable story. You are definitely on a winning streak - hopefully, you'll have an agent soon, if you don't have one already. Your work is, in my view, just what the market is after. Backed with pleasure and wishing you well. Phil view book
