Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Bex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll is my first comedy novel, and I’m working on my second titled ‘Jesus and me at 33’. It chronicles my further misadventures after my divorce, a Newtonian force that propelled me to explore strange areas since I couldn’t remain in the inertial energy of happily married.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Bex was inspired by the birth of my children. It was a way of creating a time capsule for them which would be raw and honest account and be free from being subjected to the sepia tones of old age retellings. It was also a way to say goodbye to my Peter Pan 20 something years.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Only the wetsuit.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
So many, but I like writers who don’t get in the way with purple prose. Also really dig original, funny or honest so some good ones to check out are David Sedaris, Charles Bukowski, Phillip K. Dick and John Birmingham.
What are you working on now?
Jesus and me at 33.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I enjoy Amazon Kindle very much. Then there’s Bookbubs if you can get on.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write what you would love to read.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Just do it.
What are you reading now?
Flying Saucer to the centre of you mind. Who knew Virginia was so f**ked up?
What’s next for you as a writer?
To keep ’em laughing.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
It by Stephen King, so good.
Me Talk Pretty One, Santaland Diaries, and Dress Your Family by David Sedaris
Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

Great interview. I knew the Peter Pan. I loved the humour and also raw feelings that come through in the telling of these tales.. The insights into an intergalactic mind are stimulates the imagination and magic potential of even mere mortals.
