About Me
This section has way more room than I expected. I'll get back to it soon.
Type of Writer
Ambitious, realistic, ordinary.
Writing Style
A simple, child-like rhyming poetry form, filled with innuendo, smut and hopefully, humour.
Favorite Books
I was 17 when I first picked up a book. It was, Wilt, by Tom Sharpe. This, and the books I read in the next couple of years remain my favourites. The Godfather, Catch 22, Virgin Soldiers, the rest of Sharpe's books, and most of Stephen King's.
Favorite Authors
Tom Sharpe, Stephen King, Leslie Thomas, Bill Bryson, P. G. Wodehouse,

I've only started reading poetry in recent years. I realise I have a lot of catching up to do. Roald Dahl, Edward Lear, Spike Milligan, Simon Armitage, Pam Ayres, Liz Berry, Billy Collins, Benjamin Zephaniah, Ken Nesbitt, to name but a few.
Favorite Quote
"Quality, is doing things right when nobody's watching." Henry Ford. This is on my office wall and used as our business mantra.
