    Thunk

    In Space, You Can Hear Yourself Think Liberty Stay can’t think straight. It’s the thought controller on her wrist that does it. Mostly. But when she’s reunited with her childhood toy, a talking elephant, her mind starts to rebel, and she makes an impulse decision that changes her life, and the solar system, forever. As…

  • No Strings Attached
    No Strings Attached

    They’re not really strings. More like tensile wires. No, no, they don’t hurt. Well, they do a bit, but it’s more like a constant annoyance than a sharp pain. It’s not like when I used to have that stick up my arse. It’s kind of a long story, a bit like the man with a…

    Proctology: A Bottom Examination

    For a long time now I’ve been wanting to write an old-fashioned programme guide. One you can hold in your hand and thumb through, make notes on, spill coffee on. So I did. Proctology: A Bottom Examination is my deep dive into Bottom, the hit BBC Two sitcom starring Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. That’s…
