Welcome to my website, and thanks for visiting.
Some background on me - I've always been an avid thriller reader with a fondness for baddies. In fact, my favourite childhood toy was a highly dubious looking hand puppet named Fobber the Robber. A year and a half ago, I had the crazy idea that I should write a novel in my favourite genre.

The result is Random Violence, due to be published by Umuzi in August 2008. I'm currently busy with my next novel, Gangsters' Paradise - same setting, different cast.
