Missed Scott Pixello’s first four novels? Good grief, where have you been? A 16-year-old Star Wars-obsessed loser is tested by his friends to see if he’s ready for fatherhood (Luke, I am Your Father), an opinionated 13-year-old girl tries to escape personal trauma by ‘going Goth’ (Memoir of a Gothic Girl), a bunch of lunatics on a lighthouse fight off the threat of automation (Live Long & Prospero) and a Scottish cow with a unique physical appearance seems able to predict soccer scores (Rainbow). These are not part of a series.
I’m a moderately-disturbed Brit. I’ve had seven books of non-fiction published with three different publishers under another name. Luke I am Your Father is a humorous look at unplanned pregnancy, the main character in Gothic Girl 'goes goth' as a way to cope with pressures at home and school and Live Long and Prospero features a bunch of lunatics on a lighthouse facing automation. Rainbow is about a cow that can predict soccer scores and Gagfest UK is about stand-up comedy and a heckler who takes things too far. These books are not part of a series. The Pixelloverse is currently expanding in a number of different and exciting directions. I've added parody self-help (The A-Z of Kids, Parts I & II), Biblical parody (Jesus: The Wilderness Years), a novel about Shakespeare, a school for geniuses (Smart School) and an ongoing series set in Roman-occupied Britain in AD 60, named after the hero, a would-be rebel without a toga: Keith Ramsbottom. I love writing (and reading) but hate the self-promotion part of being a writer. I am painfully shy, don’t tweet and there are no pictures of me on the Net. I don’t even have a mobile phone (shock horror!). I do have a Facebook page (see www.facebook.com/scott.pixello).
I’m not a total hermit but for me, the words are the key things, not who produces them. I long to give up my day-job and write full time but for that I need to generate more sales online, which means readers, like you, need to spend some (but not much) of your hard-earned pocket money on Pixello products. I'm trying to write books that could not be written by anyone else. And maybe shouldn't be. I plan to release about three books a year until I run out of ideas, which sadly could be some time (I’ve got about 12 manuscripts at various stages of readiness). Watch the skies.
