About the author

Simon Plaster is, by any definition of the term, a storyteller: both a writer of fiction and a fibber ---- or as some might say, a downright liar. Currently, he is looking for an equally undemanding but better paying line of work in or near Odessa, Texas, where he resides in the company of a deaf-and-dumb dog named Goat.
