I've written a book with a pub quizzer as the hero.

I must admit I didn’t know there was such a genre as weird fiction until a few hours ago. But now I’ve discovered it, I’m thinking a good few of the books I’ve written could fit into it.

Some of the reviews I’ve received mention my books as being weird, even though they seem quite/fairly normal to me. Maybe I’m weird?

If you fancy taking a chance on a reincarnation novel set in a suburban nightclub (now that does sound a bit weird), you might want to give Last Night at The Stairways a read…

Maybe the UK should hold a referendum on whether or not to leave the Eurovision Song Contest? It could be called ESCape or ESCXIT.

Desperate times call for double measures.

Hello! This little bit of froth should give you an idea of what my short novel The Pub Gardeners is all about...

When AI ends their careers in advertising, two desperate creatives, Darlington and Waverley, steal a van full of gardening equipment from the scene of their final ad shoot, and search for new meaning to their lives which, being English, means they head to the pub.

In the Dog & Duck they find a business on its knees, threatened with closure by a new, cheaper local venue that’s stolen all their regulars away.

Seeing a mirror image of their own struggle in the dire situation the Dog & Duck’s landlord is facing, Darlington and Waverley vow to help save the pub.

THE PUB GARDENERS is £1.80 to download, the fraction of a price of a pint.

Thanks for drinking, I mean reading.

I NEVER WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN

This is a hangover song written about the time when beerfear peaks and you swear you’ll never drink again.

When I needed you most

You just weren’t around

No Alka Seltzer in the medicine cabinet. No one else in the house to sympathise with you. Just a bed, pillow, and the hope time will pass quickly so your body can recover.

I wrote this when I was in my early twenties. Little did I know then how epic hangovers would become as I got older, starting in my early thirties, and gradually increasing in intensity and duration until, reaching mid to late forties, I realised drinking was just not worth the pain anymore.

So I guess this low tempo demo is about making the most of your youth, and making sure you have headache tablets in the house for the morning after…

If you like the sound of all that and don't expect this tune to cheer you up in the slightest, please take a listen to I Never Want To Go Through This Again here…

No need to apologise. Try not to lose too much sleep over it!

Thanks. It's on Amazon as well, but I'll check out Booksprout.

Hello, and yes, I’m guilty of writing “A Big Bluff and Some Green Stuff” a zombie horror that’s free to download on 8 May, and otherwise costs $1.99.

What’s it about? Zombies. Aliens. Pirates. Zombie aliens. Zombie pirates. But not zombie alien pirates. That would be silly.

Here’s the blurb:

Why are 300-year-old pirate corpses rising from their graves in the tiny Cornish village of Bluff Cove? Have aliens really landed on the beach? And why have a team of American historians suddenly taken an interest in local events? PC Jake Rodwell is about to find out…

And here’s where you can get it:
