My first book, The Lodger, came out 24 years ago. It was published by Gay Mens Press. A sampler of it was given away with Gay Times. It was a Lambda Award finalist and No. 1 on Amazon’s Gay and Lesbian chart. Happy Pride everyone!

My 3rd book, Seven Nights at the Flamingo Hotel, came out 6 years ago, 12 years after my previous one. I’d given up on being published. Then I saw a new local publisher was setting up, Bearded Badger Books. Flamingo Hotel was finished so I thought, why not? Happy Pride 🏳️🌈.

My 4th book, You; From Pissed to Publication came just a year after Seven Nights at the Flamingo Hotel. A chapbook, 28 pages long, featuring the protagonist from Flamingo Hotel talking about his path to publication. TLS called it ‘indecently Bukowskian’. Happy #Pride 🏳️🌈

“Chapbooks are small, printed booklets that originate from the sixteenth century, reaching a height of popularity in the eighteenth century and so called because they were sold by wandering salespeople known as Chapmen. And we think it's time for their revival.”

May the residents of the real Saltburn-by-the-Sea and neighbouring towns forgive my mermaids, my nuclear power stations, my foetus museums and so on and so on. They were written with love. Welcome to ...
