Mick and Jim are two corporate video producers who drink too much, don't earn enough and get too many death threats
Mrs Hathaway, their 60-year-old office cleaning lady, is a martial arts/extreme sports expert - skills she developed through online and home video courses.
Daring Dooz is a highly successful global magazine, full of fictitious adventure stories featuring scantily clad pole dancers.
Mrs Hathaway is, however, the real thing, and accepts a series of global challenges for a £2 million advance.
The challenges involve shark attacks, time warps, anacondas, MiG fighters, sex-mad caimans and exploding missionaries, with Mick and Jim coerced into videoing every terrifying step.
Writer of 5 funny novels about two video producers who drink too much, don't earn enough and get too many death threats
Hello
I've been a copy, speech and scriptwriter for a long time!
Before that, I wrote songs and stories for the BBC, then became a stand-up comedian for eight years, writing my own stories (no jokes!). I also wrote and sang all the songs for my rock band - the Stan Arnold Combo.
I now live in and work from Lanzarote, with my wife Dee and cats, Bonzo and Jingle.
In my three and a half years here, I have written three funny novels - The Implosion Trilogy, no less!
The stories are about two incompetent Soho-based video producers who drink too much, don't earn enough and get too many death threats.
I suppose the next thing to do is promote these little offerings so I can achieve my life's ambition - to own a garden shed on Mustique.
(All very well, I hear you say, but have you seen the price of creosote on the island?)
