My latest novel, Dead Moon, has been named as “Shelf Unbound Best Book 2020: Notable Indie!” Which means somebody has read the book! Woo Hoo!
Seriously though, I’m enormously grateful to the folks at Shelf Unbound for recognising my work and hopefully bringing it to new readers. Sci-Fi or Post-Apocalyptic fans tend to love it, but this is also a book that appeals to readers who enjoy character driven narrative, complex motivations, strong friendships and plenty of dark humour – even if they don’t normally read Sci-Fi.
ie. Please read my book. It’s good. Other people think so as well.

Jerome has fallen deeply in love with his cousin Allissa, a couple of years older than he but who shares his love for literature, for poetry, and for musing on philosophy. Yet, much as she admits her love, she refuses his proposals for engagement and over time seems increasingly to push him away. His desperate attempts to overcome her reluctance are hindered by his own timidity, and it seems their love is doomed for reasons he cannot understand.

I’ve seen the pictures on social media. Writers in their writing rooms, with a view of the snow. Writers in their gardens sipping wine and tapping into their laptop. Writers glorifying in this splendid isolation, determined to make 2020 the most productive year of their writing careers.
And then there’s the rest of us. For us shmucks in tiny apartments, in poor health, with kids or family problems or just weighed down the the existential horror of surviving a pandemic with a bunch of self-absorbed egomaniacs running the world – this is my quick guide to being a writer when COVID is making everything suck.

Harry and Elizabeth are both working for the same New York publishing company. But while Elizabeth loves her life, her work, the travel, and maybe even her fiancée, Harry is just about to turn 50, feels trapped in a rut with both his writing, editing, and a group of friends that time is passing by. Worse still, he has developed an inappropriate crush on this new young woman who has waltzed into his life like a passing flood. Although Harry and Elizabeth spend all their time bickering, it seems fate is drawing them together – but for better or for worse?
