FAQ

If Wilbur Smith and P.G. Wodehouse sat down at a bush pub in 1888 and co-wrote a novel with a splash of revenge and some fine whisky, it might come close. Readers have compared it to everything from The Burning Shore to The Dig Tree — so I’ll let you decide.
Be aware though, if you are after a masculine hero; a perfect lead man who always lands on his feet, Jack Thomas, my main character, is anything but. He is flawed and impulsive, and terribly human. I like to think that he is my subconcious.
