I love writing. And I hope you'll love reading what I write. Here are some of my inspirations: Kafka, Borges, Italo Calvino, Kobo Abe, Magnus Mills, Will Self, Patrick McGrath, Paul Auster, Camus, Sartre, Mervyn Peake, Dylan Thomas, JD Salinger... I'll stop now. Otherwise we could be here all day. I have written a book of short stories and a novel, 'The Valley of Glass', which I guess is best described as an enigmatic philosophical fable, like Life of Pi meets Alice in Wonderland. Thanks for looking.
