About Me

Writer, Musician and Etheric Architect

Hot on the tail of making it into the finals of Project: Queerlit, I can confirm that My Hero: A Wild Boy's Tale will be published by Rebel Satori Press this autumn/fall.

Here's the blurb...

"In a post-apocalyptic America, 17 year old Joshua My Hero lives out a humdrum existence, struggling to find truth and sense in a Christian-fundamentalist trailer park. But his psychic powers and sexual tastes leave him an outsider of his community, and forced to commit patricide in a final and desperate struggle for self-defence against his father's rage, Joshua escapes into a wasted planet, armed only with an oracular penis, the patronage of an ancient earth spirit sent to rid the planet of all of its ills, and the wisdom of the Tao Teh Ching..."

Praise for My Hero: A Wild Boy's Tale:

"I really loved this book. Original, exciting, and transcendant. A bloody great read. Very unique."- Douglas Ferguson, author of the Forgotten Ones

"It's got energy and humour." - Jim Gladstone, queerlit heavyweight and author of The Big Book of Misunderstandings

"Like a dirty 'The Stand' or 'Blood Meridian'. I love it." - Kathleen Bryson, multi-media artist and author

"An imaginative and inventive project." - D. Travers Scott, author of One of These Things is Not Like the Other
