About Me:
Young writer. Either "a genuine literary event" or "that bastard next door nicking our wireless broadband", depending who you ask.

Sarcastic. Odd. Paranoid obsession with aggressive Yaks. Hoping to get rich - in the spiritual karmic sense. Or at least break even.

Loves the fact that Hollywood gets "crime" so completely and utterly wrong, All. The. Time.

First novel: CONTRACT, published by Headline Review, June 2007.

Very not-Hollywood.

Would like everyone to meet his close personal friend, borrowed-wisdom guru and Hitman For Hire, Michael Point

Books And Authors I Like:

Kurt Vonnegut. Recently popped his clogs. So it goes.

Chuck Palahniuk. Recently written some A-Bit-Plop stories. I am Jack's complete disappointment.

Bo Fowler. Nobody knows who he is. But he's brilliant. Read him. Read him NOW.

    Love the piece about being green.
    I'm in danger of becoming Helen 'I'm new to this game' Black...and friends and family laugh when I say it'll probably sell three copies.
    When it was published they kept asking if Harpercollins were giving me a launch party!

    I'm sure that's right.
    When my editor announced I was such and such in the bookseller list my reaction was 'is that good then?'
    Since I don't know what constitutes decent sales ( 10, 000? 100. 000?) I can only worry all the more...
