I write fiction - comic-tragedy, always with a social angle, not always as funny as I hope. I read fiction - Percival Everett, Paul Murray, Angela Carter, J.G Ballard, Terry Pratchett, to name a few. I'm a dad - to the greatest kids in the universe

I followed Warren Buffett around in a VW camper for the whole summer in my early twenties. It wasn't as fun as it was made out to be. #badjokes #humor

Suicide prevention/awareness month. This is a great place for some great stories. I donated a story here a while ago due to my history with suicide. Sean was really lovely to communicate with. Please check Brian's Bookcase out. #mentalhealth #fiction #suicideprevention

I'm looking for recent fiction in that Terry Pratchett mold with all the humor and political and social commentary. Any recs would be hugely appreciated. Thanks! #discworld #Pratchett #books #helpIneedsoemthingnewtoread

My mum used to say hindquarters cos she thought arse was too rude for kids. Unless the good people at Fareway Grocery are pulling a huge bait and switch, today I realized it was not the synonym I thought it was. #language #iamanidiot

My daughter said last night - People should stop trying to figure out why we exist. Just go out and be the reason. From nowhere, with no context, as casual as anything. I finally returned some books to the library today. Not sure that's what she meant. #writer #kids #humor #library
