About this author

I've been writing for over thirty years. I realized my unhip credentials were mounting so decided to write about it. Little Guide to Unhip is published by Night Publishing (2010)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/86...

However I'm not totally unhip. My punk novel, Fall Of The Flamingo Circus was published by Allison & Busby (1990) and by Villard (American hardback 1990).

Skrev Press published my novels Seaview Terrace (2003) Sucka! (2004) and Break Point (2006) and other shorter work has appeared in Skrev’s avant garde magazine Texts’ Bones including a version of my satirical novella Lost The Plot.

I won't forget this book in a long time. Unusual subject matter - very disturbing and gripping. Not for the faint-hearted.
