Hi Caimh, two questions if you don't mind. 1. In Welcome to Nowhere Smithy is offered Vicodin for his flight anxiety, which - as we all know - is the opioid painkiller Dr. House is addicted to. Did you mean to write Valium instead, or is this a subtle commentary on the opioid crisis? 2. Was Banecroft inspired by Douglas Reynholm (Matt Berry) from the IT Crowd?

Hi Michael,
Apologies for the slow response. To be honest, that might have been an error on my part - although I am tempted to claim it was a very subtle piece of satire!
As regards to the Matt Berry character - not really although I can see where you're coming from. The reality is there's probably quite a few 'nightmare bosses' characters that you can compare him too that appear in TV shows.
Thanks for the questions.

Thank you for making me laugh!!! I bought and downloaded the first Dublin Trilogy book on a recommendation from Amazon. I then bought the rest and I'm getting ready to start on Disasters Inc. Your humor and writing reminds me of one of my favorite authors (TR Pearson - also on Goodreads). My question for you is are you in relatively good health? I ask that because I hope you have a long writing career ahead. Thanks

My Mac and my love life are in tip top shape. YOU, sir, are an extremely funny man. (Not a question, but a comment). It says on here that you wrote your first book in 2016. You now appear to have 15 books. That is something like 5 books a year? How do you find time to do anything else? Yikes!

Not a question but just wanted to say how much I'm loving your books, especially the wonderful Bunny tales. An Amazon algorithm led me your way early in January and I'm just reading the last one of the Stranger Times stories now - please, more Bunny, more gay trolls! Can we have some more short stories please?
