New Praise for Spank!
“When I expressed my surprise about Spank to my wife, my surprise that spanking could be such an erotic turn on, her surprise was that I was surprised.

Writers do it anywhere, even on a toilet in Shanghai
The best thing about being a writer is that you can do it almost anywhere. All you need is a ballpoint pen and the back of an envelope and you are ready to go whenever inspiration strikes. You might just be recording an idea, or jotting down a snippet of dialogue. Or you might find […]

Still funny after all these years…
With all the recent buzz these days about erotica, you’d think that sex in literature was a recent development. It’s amazing how many people seem to have just ‘discovered’ the genre! It’s almost as though folks figured that the human race just didn’t read or write about sex for a few thousand years when, in […]

Sex and humour: it’s all about the delivery!
After a lengthy career in daily newspaper journalism, Spank is my first novel. I had a lot of fun researching and writing it.
