On my travels I’ve met many people, millionaires and bankrupts, junkies and dealers, the confusingly normal and the awe inspiringly odd.

A routine interlude… — It wasn’t a climb out of hell, it was a climb into heaven. That was important to remember because there was no hell, just the climb and then heaven. After all, look down, do you see hell? Fiery pits and damnation? Of course not. You see […]
After a long few weeks glacial progress is being made on two new books, sort of. I’m alternating between the two like an ADD toddler only with none of the focus or drive but out of chaos comes form. Sooner or later, probably. The first is a full length novel […]

Nonsense — “You like Pop music? Jack Daniels? Pedigree Chum? I have in my room, come, we party…” Helga glanced nervously towards her Pimp, a surly blonde haired brute by the name of Helmud. He’d been a shepherd, in better times, better times when they’d run through fields feeling like […]
One of these days novel – POW – straight to the moon! Just a brief update today to distract me from a brief distraction from work on my next novel (Codename: The Russian Dwarf Hamster Almanac (subject to change)). The brief distraction from the novel is either a long short story […]
