About this author

Hi,

Welcome to my author page. My debut novel, The Super Spud Trilogy, was released in April 2012 as a paperback and on Kindle and the fourth Super Spud adventure was released on Kindle in December 2012. I'm very much looking forward to interacting with my readers and discussing the book.

I enjoy sailing, skiing (on the green slopes only...), table tennis, squash and playing computer/board games with my friends.

I studied geology at Manchester University, as I always wanted to be a volcanologist like Pierce Brosnan in Dante's Peak, but life took me to the Middle East instead where I currently work. Writing books during my work shifts.

Will happily interact with readers to discuss the Super Spuds, find me on Twitter, on my blog or Facebook. Tha...more




Garden Hopping
No one had ever made it past house number twelve. The cul-de-sac was 150 metres long and had fifteen houses, all detached bar one semi-detached. Beginners to the group were expected to reach house number five as standard, as the first four houses were separated by only a 1 metre high wall and occupied by young couples who didn’t care about kids playing games – they probably garde...

A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin
I'll be honest, I enjoyed the first book but stopped reading the second book after a hundred pages - it was just too boring and nothing happened, and I was confused. With the TV series, I picked it up after the second series and started again with Pa...more

“Our friend Chewy doesn’t speak much, but he chews a lot of tobacco so we call him Chewbacco.”
Michael Diack, The Super Spud Trilogy

“Bear with me G-Harrison because this is going to be a long speech. I’ve always had this feeling that the world is not enough and I won’t be happy in life unless I hold hands with a girl who has a golden eye and a gold finger; I beat the living daylights out a guy called Dr No; I get a postcard from my friend who lives in Russia which reads ‘From Russia with love’; I spend some time working for her majesty’s secret service; I play the Thunderball Super Spud lottery; I meet a guy called Moonraker; I finally get a licence to kill, which I applied for months ago; I buy a house with a view to kill for and I get a pet octopus called Octopussy. If only I lived twice and tomorrow never died, maybe then I would get a chance to fulfil my dreams.”
Michael Diack, The Super Spud Trilogy

“Foolish potato, talking to her like that won’t work. You’ve got to be mean and show off your foil-wrapped rigidity.”

Yeap, Gandalf would be a perfect choice for a world Leader. He did unite the Middle-Earth, so why not just plain Earth too?? LOL!
