Retired, with plenty of time on his hands and a healthy dose of grumpiness. The Stories to Tell Collection offers absurd Australian satire with loads of sarcasm, cynicism, and a twisted take on the world. Inspired by the likes of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams.

Several curious people, really it’s just one, asked how or where the ideas came from. Thankfully, there’s no clear answer. When the trousers, mind, or weather conditions suit such things, the computer opens, a page appears, and it starts to flow. Wondrously weird, odd, and strange things abound.

Alan Crawford liked booklover's review of Very Odd Short Stories (Stories to tell Book 3): "I finished Very Odd Short Stories, and it does exactly what the title promises. Each story feels different, but they all share the same strange, offbeat tone. You never quite know where things are going, and that keeps you engaged the whole time. Some" Read more of this review »

Alan’s Quotes

“Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul - all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but always has been - arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul - it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.”
― Oliver Kornetzke
