About Me
For anyone who may be wondering I named myself after a fish. But a pretty special fish. The coelacanth was believed to have been extinct for 65 million years. Until one turned up in a fishermans net in 1935. I think that's pretty cool (the surviving undetected for 65 million years bit, not the being trapped in a net part) I hope you enjoy the work of the coelacanth.
Type of Writer
Still trying to work this out, but I like to include an element of comedy in most of my work.
Writing Style
I prefer to write in the third person. I'm a big fan of Ken Follett and I try to emulate his clear easy to understand prose.
Interests
Reading, writing, history, philosophy, comedy, music.
