Who would’ve thought that we could get a year more challenging than 2020? Ah well… with that year having been a practice run, at least I was better equipped to handle 2021.

I’ve finally gotten around to editing the videos from the launch of Life, Death and Detention. 🙂 First up, here’s Alison Goodman’s launch speech… And here’s my speech, which includes a few short readings from the book… Yes, the video cuts out before I finish. My camera automatically switches off after a certain amount of […]

In the past, I have been known to moonlight as an actor. Look — here’s my ultra serious acting headshot to prove it. About two years ago, shortly after the birth of my second daughter, I made the decision to stop chasing acting work and focus on my writing career. The main reason for this […]
