at work...


I've just completed another rewrite of The Goon and have begun work on my fifth novel. It's slow going at the moment but with a full summer to write I'm ambitiously hoping to have a first draft completed by September. This new novel will tie up some loose ends from The Dirty Milkman and will also revisit a few characters from A Place of Pretty Flowers (Jeremy Wiggins and Jimmy S.). I plan on heading in an entirely different direction after this and for my own sanity I need to put these characters to bed. For now.

  1. Hi there.
    I just wanted to let you know that I finished 'The Making of Harry Cossaboom' today, and it was one of the best novels I have ever read. I absolutely loved it. It was so real, yet so dreamlike. I am from Fredricton and I aspire to be a writer, and your book has inspired me. It is wonderful. I plan to read your other books as well. Please check out my blog and tell me what you think of my writing. It would mean a lot.
    Thank you.
    Robin Gorham.
