A few weeks back, I downloaded two interesting-sounding novels by David Wailing - and . So, when I found out that David was reading my novel, , I decided to get started on Fake Kate because I enjoyed the symmetry.

Today was chosen for simultaneous review posting. This was much more terrifying than I imagined. Waiting to read ...

My short story collection, Seesaw will be available in paperback very soon.

Those of you who've started reading will be aware that one of the reasons I write Kindle books, is to raise funds to keep a cat, at some point in the future.

So severe is the pain emanating from my upper left premolar that I can barely twitch without gasping in agony. Suddenly, I notice a lady in a yellow dress and my heart leaps - she's reading a Kindle!
