'Pearl' is a darkly humorous satire, a love story, and an absurd fiction about the consequences of a fabulous discovery beneath the mountains of northern British Columbia. Politics -- especially -- and collective human stupidity are hammered in this novel. If you are one of those readers whose ears are easily set aflame by bad language, then some of my characters will offend you, but that won't bother them. Some -- and not just Pearl -- are lovely people, but have been battered by a crazy world. How will they survive it? Seventy thousand words.
Autorentext
I was born and raised in Britain and Canada. I have a couple of physics degrees, and worked for twenty years in the aerospace industry, before turning to writing. These days I live on a Pacific island with my wife, two chickens, and our Scottie dog Jimmy.
This odd book is my second work of fiction.
