About me

Well, that's enough about me.

More importantly, you may be asking who that handsome fellow is and why that idiot with the beanie is photobombing him.

If you've read A Better Class of Criminal, then you would have guessed I like dogs, especially dogs with big heads. Maybe it's because I can sympathize. Anyway, that's the Guv, a 120lb Mastiff I befriended on a cold night in a warm pub on the west coast of New Zealand. He was a gentle giant who didn't mind the occasional ember landing on his backside as long as he got to sit by the fire.

As for me, I'm ex a lot of things. Ex-builder, ex-detective, ex-owner of the Liquid Lounge. Like I said, a lot of ex's. Hopefully, it will make me a better storyteller. Time will tell (fingers crossed that comment ages well). For now, I'll let you read A Better Class of Criminal and guess which things I've lived, what I made up, and everything in between.

Oh, and one last thing - A Better Class of Criminal is sex, drugs, and violence. I did that on purpose because if I was serious about learning how to write, (and I mean truly learning), and - more importantly - actually finishing the damn thing, then I had to make it fun. And what better way to have fun when writing than to write about sex, right?

And it was fun, mostly. From Drago's mastery of violence to Nathan tripping on mushrooms, from sex scenes to strip scenes, and all the jokes in between, it's been a hell of a ride and one that I hope you will enjoy reading as much as I did writing it.
