Hi there, nice to meet you! Here are a few things about me:

The show was about elephants, my favorite animal, so I was paying attention when the narrator began describing musth, the state of sexual arousal that can cause bulls to rampage. Something clicked. The idea for a novel called Must came to mind, practically full-formed. I immediately went downstairs to find my laptop and typed out eight single-spaced pages of notes before finally managing to tear myself away for work (not surprisingly, I was late!). It took two years and twelve drafts to finally finish the book, but the final result is very much true to my original vision, to those eight pages of notes that seemingly came out of nowhere . . .(less)

New Novel!

Hi All,

After 3 years (and it took every bit of that), I've finally finished my latest novel. It's a story about pirates, though much in the same way that Moby Dick is a tale about whaling. Not that I'm at all comparing it to what I regard as one of the best books of all time!

Here's a link to the cover, as well as a quick and dirty description:
