8 books117 followersLaughter in a crazy world...
Life is too short for bad wine, a home without love or a world without humour.
I write science fiction, except when I'm writing about chess, or fantasy/ horror or spy fiction. Most of all I wrote to put a smile on your face. We may not be able to solve the problems of the world together, but it would be good to have a chuckle about the absurdness of it all.
Think Terry Pratchett/ Monty Python / Douglas Adams ... I'm not as good as any of those but I'm a heck of a lot cheaper.
"Love, Death and Tea" is the story of the world's first pacifist zombie, trying to solve the meaning of life and escape from a corrupt Government whilst constantly being confused by shoelaces.
"Once upon a chess game" is an unique mix of chess puzzles and humour - there is nothing else quite like it.
"Global Domination for Beginners". What would happen if the bad guy in a spy story actually did manage to take over the world? Would it be so bad?
