A debut collection of linked, autobiographical stories, true and true-ish, set on the edge of white suburbia and the wild fringes of late-apartheid South Africa. Funny, filthy, and every so often unexpectedly tender.

16 September 2026. Pre-orders open before then. Leave your email and I'll warn you in good time.

Both, and I'm not always telling which is which. It's autofiction: built on real people and real events, then shaded, embellished, and occasionally improved upon. True and true-ish.

Yes. They appear under nicknames, partly out of affection and partly to narrowly avoid a lawsuit. Real names belong to the historical record; the nicknames belong to the stories.

That would be telling. There's a story in the book by that name. Read it, then we'll talk.

Online wherever books are sold, and orderable through any good bookshop. Buy links go live on this site at launch.

Paperback and ebook to start, with an audiobook to follow.

Yes. It's distributed internationally, so readers in South Africa, the UK, and beyond can order it.

At the launch and any events, gladly. I'll post dates here and in the newsletter.

Yes, with at least one event closer to home in San Diego. Details once they're nailed down.

The first with my name on a spine. There's more on the way: a post-apocalyptic novella called The Beat of Tiny Wings, a novel, The Moon Below, and a stack of other things in various states of undress.
