            Welcome all to my Author Website!

I am proud to announce that The Nine Lives of Summer, my 10th published book, and my 4th cat book, came out in paperback/ebook worldwide on 1st March 2023.

 

It is what is known as a 'crossover' title - a book for children (7+) AND adults - especially, but not only, cat-lovers. 

 

Reviews have been just SO excellent - in YOUR CAT magazine and others, plus all genuine reviews on USA Amazon, NetGalley, which are mostly 5 and 4 star. Great sales worldwide, paperback and eBook. Also, now interest in TV/film rights with options. Wow!

 

March 2023 was the 10th anniversary of the publication of my first cat book, A Cat Called Dog, which is still popular. That book spawned a shorter child-friendly version and a sequel A Cat Called Dog 2 - The One with the Kittens (2017) - which, for some reason, is borrowed from UK libraries a lot, 2nd of all my 10 books; SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE is number 1 (2022-3; RASMUS is number one 2023-4). There's been film rights/options interest for several of them actually.

 

That is what is great about books - they are born & remain.

 

A bit like paper children who go on to live lives of their own, which you, the mere author/birth parent, can't control even if you want to, just as you can't decide what meaning readers read into your stories.

 

"Books, the children of the brain," wrote Swift - and he was right.

 

Books LAST and are there for evermore. I love that. 

 

Books matter, and books remain.

 

THERE IS NO BAD TO BOOKS. None.

 

Books CAN be dangerous and disturbing too. GOOD!

 

Subversive is good! Dissenting is good! Heresy is good too!

 

OFFENSIVE IS GOOD! Say it again: OFFENSIVE IS GOOD!

 

Challenge everything, always, and never stop asking questions.

 

There is never ANYTHING wrong with asking questions EVER. All and any questions, no matter how 'controversial' and 'triggering'. This is what used to be called EDUCATION, actually...

 

As someone once said: "AS A WRITER, I HAVE THE RIGHT TO WRITE ANYTHING I WANT." I agree, especially as a writer of fiction. I shall fight for that and fight anyone too to defend that - the state, the police, the law, anyone and anything. LIBERTY MATTERS! So there!

 

It is not only a human right to offend, it is a DUTY for thinking people and writers who have something to say. Like me, then.

 

Being OFFENSIVE is fun sometimes for the sake of it too, of course, just to wind the usual suspects up, (see the savage satire of Swift, Gilray et al); but being offensive is even better when it especially offends the stupid & ignorant, those who deserve to be offended and, re novels, who have NO idea how to really read at all - so completely misunderstand your book. There seems to be a neverending supply of such people these days - the pofaced prissy fingerwagging nannies of our New Puritan Age, the online clickpigs, the many self-declared 'expert' top reviewers. Oh dear. The liars who claim to be authors when they are not (SO many 'top' reviewers claim this. Tut tut).

 

REMEMBER: FREE SPEECH IS NOT FREE SPEECH UNLESS SOMEONE IS OFFENDED! And someone ALWAYS will be...

 

Also remember, every single great work of art in history has offended people in its day - especially 'the powers that be' whether the church/faith, monarchy, elites, or the dictatorship of orthodox opinion - whether music, painting, literature, poetry, plays, films etc.

 

I do not claim to be creating great art, but I DO write damn good books which are always intelligent and entertaining, with meaningful stories which ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY - and that includes my cat books such as THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER which that vast majority of readers really loved and appreciated. I assume a certain level of intelligence and education in my readers, of course...

 

How anyone can be offended be a crossover cat book is beyond me and would, I think, be problematic to all reasonable people.

 

It's a CAT book, for goodness sake! An imaginative fictional story in which a cat dies to be reborn all over the world into many diverse cultures, lives 9 lives so dies 8 deaths. 9 lives. Now that is called ' a conceit' and rather a clever one, at that. DO YOU SEE? 9 lives?

 

So, NO, it does not 'need' a trigger warning from some deranged hysterical NOTHING of a free reviewer hysteric on AmazonGoodreads - and hilariously NOT ONE person adds a LIKE to these stupid babyish reviews anyway LOL, so NOBODY READS THEM, and NOBODY CARES - you are ignored as the NOTHING you are. NO likes at all. LOL.

 

No, my book & I are NOT promoting animal cruelty, as a that thicko reviewer seriously claimed, and nor is it racist and promoting disability hate crime (!?!). Absurd, disgusting, defamatory accusations. Some people are just totally deranged, disturbed & deluded. Maybe deliberately and maliciously so, to desperately try and hurt an author's reputation & writing career? Maybe mentally ill & then some. Very odd, anyway. PEAK BONKERS! A real loonytoon.

 

The PROBLEM is NOT the book and nor is it me; the problem is any loony who claims a cat book is a problem, who asserts that it and its author can hurt & damage kids and cause trauma to readers. WHAT A DISGUSTING CLAIM to make online, a maliciously dishonest thing to say, which is legally defamation and actionable. IN LAW.

 

Disgusting false accusation and yes, defamation, so civil law, yes, but also malicious communications and harassment, which is criminal law, as the prolonged hate campaign (28.8.23-14.4.25!!!) is designed to cause maximum alarm and distress and HARMS to me, the author, as the abuse is on MY OWN book pages under MY books with MY name on them so this is TARGETED HARASSMENT AND HATE. I have more than enough evidence to sue and even bring a private prosecution, if I have to, if police fail in their duty. So I shall take action in time, and expose this as a big news story about female cyberstalking and toxic femininity. If you are guilty, you will pay - so sang Bob Marley - and Bob was not wrong. We fight. We shall win. Even if it takes years.

 

Believe me when I take this VERY seriously & shall not lose. Private prosecution is an option for individuals let down by police. IOPC for them too (I shall push for suspension and an investigation into corruption at a certain northern English police force), and legal action for substantial damages from all involved in persecuting me. 

 

MANY THANKS to my legal team for the detailed report, listing all evidence and timelines, which prove I AM THE VICTIM of a prolonged and malicious racist hate campaign motivated by bare revenge and anti-Semitism in my opinion (based on evidence of tweets etc). SO much evidence now, including abusive targeted harassment on 14th April 2025. This all started on 28th August 2023. My hater has posted up to 10,000 words of abuse at me. Gosh. And of course, the cyberstalker obsessively reads my author website. Good. I shall not shut up & shall not be silenced. I mention NO names here unlike you, my hater, posting AT me on MY book pages. All screenshots done.

 

AND I can prove my accuser lied to police - (to try and get revenge on me) - with REAL EVIDENCE. This is a VERY serious criminal offence.  PERVERTING THE COURSE OF JUSTICE, plus withholding evidence, wasting police time, making a false report to police. CRIMINAL OFFENCES. All being investigated right now.

 

All evidence proves I merely RESPONDED to the vile toxic racist abuse spewed at me on MY BOOK PAGES by a deeply deranged obsessive narcissistic individual who then claimed to  be the victim though the evidence shows the opposite. I initiated nothing at all. I merely defended myself against attacks by a lie-spewing hatemonger who for reasons unknown is obsessed with me )triggered by my challenging one deranged review - pure NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER and more).

 

I am NOT the perpetrator of anything. I am the victim - of you. SO... THE LAW IS COMING FOR YOU and JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED. This will also be a big news story to thanks to the Great British Press/TV too (& international TV and press in Israel and elsewhere, as I have been abuse and attacked by someone motivated my bare antiSemitism). I can't wait. FAME AT LAST with names/faces exposed. Not by me. I have no interest in meeting my hater or seeing that twisted malicious face - I shall let the press do their job there.

 

I have 3 folders of screenshots of the 10,000 words of targeted abuse, hate, harassment aimed at me on Goodreads-Amazon who are also culpable as, in spite of my repeated requests to remove the hate speech (from 28/8/23 until 14.4.25), they refused to. That makes them not just negligent but complicit. I shall sue in the US courts. Watch this space. Big damages due and reinstatement of me, and banning of my racist hateful abuser.

 

Remember, MOST readers LOVE 'The Nine Lives of Summer' as a wonderful, touching, emotional story set all over the world amongst diverse people of all races and faiths, creeds and cultures.

 

Anyone calling it racist is just deranged, as is anyone claiming it can hurt children. Just sick, actually, very disturbed. And DEFAMATORY. 

 

AND my cyberstalker has now STARTED AGAIN  with her prolonged hate campaign of harassment aimed at ME directly on MY Goodreads book pages. Wow. Just Wow. April 14th 2025 after THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER, a brand NEW review with an added appeal to third parties to join the malicious witch's vile obsessive racist hate campaign against me, thus: 

 

"Thanks so much for reading my review! I hope you enjoyed it, if you did I’d be delighted if you leave me a “like” as I love to read your comments."

 

Incitement right there, again, appealing to others to join in the hate campaign pile-on by the cyberbully as has happened before. WOW.

 

Screenshots done now, so this evidence will all soon be with my solicitor. Yet MORE evidence.  Thanks! The online hate campaign against me by this one malicious individual started on 28 August 2023 and has now lasted until 14 April 2025. Wow. Just wow. EVIDENCE ALL. 

 

And my obsessive harassing cyberstalker has now deliberately labelled my cat book (CAT BOOK!) as 'disturbing'. It is not. The strange brain of my abuser is. NORMAL people love my book. Loonies are disturbed. This is the label by hater gives THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER with the aim if inciting others to trash it in fake reviews:

 

SERIOUSLY? No normal person would consider THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER 'disturbing' and literally NO other reviewer does. Emotional, yes, like a Disney film where animals die. AND it says what to expect on the blurb on the back cover, so TRY READING IT FIRST hysterical thicko before starting to read a book, Stick to silly girly fluff and drivel maybe, avoid well-written fiction like mine, stalker (and btw I can see from MY stats when you are stalking me on this author website, see the spikes, all recorded as evidence of stalking together with evidence I have that you did not buy or read my THE LOVED ONES book which means you LIED TO POLICE, and the evidence proves it. Oh dear).

www.goodreads.com/book/show/123176603-the-nine-lives-of-summer

 

MY BOOK PAGE polluted by the filth of my stalker who has been harassing me in targeted hate for almost 18 months now online.

 

But hey, loony, thanks for the evidence - yet more for the bulging 3 folders of 10,000 words of abuse spewed at me by a real loonytoons psycho. EVIDENCE. For when I expose you all in court.

 

Remember the "I'm a 100% honest reviewer" LIE? Posting a trash review for my THE LOVED ONES poetry book (too advanced for thick reviewers - honestly, this remedial reader would be out of her depth in a puddle in a  car park - this thicko is that narrow-sighted she can look through a keyhole with both eyes). Bare lie fake review for a book I can PROVE this reviewer has NOT read or bought. PROVE.

 

And HERE is another lie. The police ordered my cyberstalker crybully to remove the abusive reviews after my book THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER - there were 16 reviews totally 5000 words! Yes, 5000 words of vile spewed abuse, hatred, bile, vengeful rage, defamation, libel, false accusations, appeals for third parties to join in the racist anti-Semitic bullying hate campaign of me - as my hater maliciously hijacked MY book pages on Goodreads to use as her own personal HATE SPACE to maliciously harass, abuse, defame, attack me, to try to wreck my writing career and ruin my reputation and life. Real PSYCHO stuff. But ALL SCREENSHOTS IN MY FOLDER AND WITH MY SOLICITOR AND POLICE NOW. All will be read aloud in court.

 

Here, a liar speaks: "After the long and still ongoing saga with this Author I decided to delete some of my comments that were on this thread" 

 

Oh the layers and layers of lies. Last time I saw anyone that thick I was feeding it a banana at the zoo. The police TOLD HER to take down those disgusting comments on 23 December 2023.

 

As for the claim I am promoting animal cruelty in the book. SUPERLOONY TIME! I have written 4 cat books, which show my love of animals. EVIDENCE RIGHT THERE so I do not have to prove myself to some deranged loony nothing of a malicious individual spouting defamatory crap on MY book pages online. SHOO! Get off MY book pages, and post on your OWN failed website and pages, non-author.

 

It is GREAT being an author and I am so proud to be an established, award-winning author who has published 10 books since 2010, with thousands sold worldwide. And more to come! Thrillers now, x2. Including one inspired by this saga, about an obsessive psychowoman who targets an author for no reason at all. Real BABY REINDEER stuff.

 

My books will still be there in 10, 20, 50, 100 years to be read and enjoyed. My legacy. A real achievement, I know.

 

VERY hard work to develop my innate artistic talent, I can tell you, BUT NOTHING wrong with that. I like hard work! Watching it like my cats, yes, but also doing it! The buzz I get, the sense of achievement, it is all very special and satisfying! SUCCESS SMELLS GREAT!

 

BTW That is well over half a million well-written words published, by the way, bought & read by diverse readers worldwide (esp Germany & Scandinavia for some reason, and of course the USA and Canada).

 

Real sacrifice and dedication - and TALENT - needed to write all that fiction from scratch,  but well worth it to achieve all that I have achieved. My 3 satirical novels = 337,000 words. My 4 cat books =  167000 words. My lovely much-loved THE LOVED ONES poetry book is 18000 words in 54 poems. HARD WORK IS WORTH IT! Over 530,000 words of PUBLISHED text in 10 books. All from my head!

 

AND I have books unpublished:  2 novels which are 213,000 words combined (they will be published in the next 2-3 years); 2 MG children's novels, 78,000 words together (One published privately in 2024, 30 copies to test reader reaction); and very many short stories to work on/polish; plus scripts, screenplays & creative ideas galore.

 

I am very proud that ALL of my books have SOMETHING TO SAY, the kids' books, cat books, poetry. Everything.

 

I am so very proud of that actually - not for me the production-line genre ebooks (romance, fantasy, horror, mediocre crime series) which get churned out and read (usually for free) usually by older women readers in the USA actually. If other others want to do that, fine, but it does not interest me as a writer (or reader) at all. Sorry! I'd rather write nothing at all. And I detest 'insta-drivel' socalled poetry.

 

That is one of the hallmarks of my author voice - having SOMETHING TO SAY. Perhaps the worst sin can author can commit is being dull. Nothing I write is ever dull. Nothing I write lacks meaning. Ever.

 

The other hallmark of all my writing is my dark sense of humour which permeates everything, even my crime thrillers. Roald Dahl would get it! Most readers do too. Those with functional brains.

 

I have plenty of famous fans too: politicians (MPs, lords galore), journalists, household names: David Attenborough's sent me 12 hand-written letters since 2010, Vera Lynn emailed me via her PA when she was 101 years old, Lady Anne Dodd & Ken before his passing wrote to me, Julia Baird (John Lennon's sister) emailed me re my THE LOVED ONES poetry collection. More letters, cards, emails from Delia Smith, David Bellamy, Jeremy Corbyn & union leaders, Boris Johnson when Mayor of London et al. And pop stars - James McVey of THE VAMPS tweeted about A CAT CALLED DOG (2013).

 

I also have PHYSICAL EVIDENCE of all these, so the abusive reviews which claim I am lying about this are defamatory in that and much else besides. Again, if necessary, all evidence will be shown in court to PROVE my abuser is just that and a bare-faced malicious liar.

 

There are 12 points of clear defamation which are actionable with much STILL up there on Goodreads including claims I faked my qualifications - DEFAMATION, RIGHT THERE, YET AGAIN. I shall ask any judge or lawyer how they would feel if some hater hijacked their page on the biggest law website in the world then claimed they had faked their qualifications. They will relate to how vile that lie is, how malicious, its intention to cause real harms to someone's life.

 

And yes, have screenshots of EVERYTHING for the future, all 10,000 words of abuse I've suffered in a prolonged harassing targeted hate campaign of revenge from JUST ONE obsessive deranged malicious hater - my own personal Baby Reindeer. JUST ONE psycho. And like many mentalists, a full-on god botherer too. They usually are...

 

These screenshots of up to 10,000 words of abuse aimed directly at me on MY book pages will be used in court when I sue who I shall sue, to show that I have been the victim of a prolonged malicious hate campaign of revenge by a deranged harassing cyberstalker. All those who joined in with my abuser will be named in court too, those my hater incited to troll and abuse me, to complain about me, and the infamous malicious vile Sketty witch who I can prove was in contact with my harassing abuser, egging the psychostalker on.

 

Truth will out. I cannot wait! The press will have a field day. 

 

 

Anyway, enough about deranged haters who matter not -  I now have 10 scrapbooks of all my reviews and replies from people for all my 10 published books since 2010 - and piles of letters and cards too from many famous and notable persons. My archive, with all my writing notes, if anyone wants it all in the end... I shall leave it to the nation.

 

The largest creative agency in LA even got in touch re RASMUS. Yup, Hollywood! If it happens, it happens. For some reason in my last PLR statement (2023/4) RASMUS is the most borrowed of my books from UK libraries SO probably on a uni media course booklist then.

 

I CAN write screenplays too - I started seriously writing in 2006 with them, though quit and switched to fiction of novels when I realise how very impossible it is to get a screenplay produced and filmed.

 

I am 100% sure my new psychowoman cyberstalker novel will be filmed & I shall be writing the screenplay, I hope, as I started as a screenwriter in 2006, so know my stuff re structure, arcs etc. All fiction of course, inspired by my lived experience, so my RIGHT to write and publish fiction (the ploice officer who told me it was now WILL face action and worse, IOPC and the courts).

 

 

And...I've just received a LOVELY contact from a reader/cat fan in the Far East inviting me to visit, which is great! Japan, South Korea, maybe more. I had NO idea I had even readers there until now!

 

They say they adore all my 4 cat books in Japan and South Korea, and are appalled at the abuse I have suffered from my cyberstalker psycho - they told me special Japanese/Korean words for people like that which is hilarious! My next book tour there then - so better start brushing up my Japanese & Korean! I'm not such a fan of Japanese food tbh, but I'll try anything once! When in Rome etc.

 

Some lovely Far Eastern cat-fan individual online has promised me a pair of REAL silver chopsticks if I visit too! WOW! I can actually use chopsticks incl lovely metal ones as the locals do, real silver esp - though only an idiot would use them for rice. USE A FORK, FOOL! 

 

THANKS YOU, JAPAN! I am learning some phrases in prep for my visit though really cannot promise to be able to speak the language by the time I visit!

 

THANK YOU, SOUTH KOREA! Though, as I am not some deluded babywomen, I shall leave the processed pop boyband fandom to the kids & tweenagers (which is fine - but middle-aged mentalpausal babywomen screaming at them? LOL. JUST HILARIOUSLY SAD AND PATHETIC, ROTFLMAO! Screaming with laughter here LOL!)

 

My books are in SO many libraries worldwide.I am a HUGE and loud supporter of libraries - and my own childhood one was the same as that frequented by Keith Richards and Michael Jagger, an impressive building beside Dartford Park, built with Cargenie money. Fond memories of that place. It helped make me an author for sure.

 

All 10 of my published books are in libraries - plus a special limited edition private print-run of 30 copies of my middle grade children's novel DINOSAUR JOE which is now in several UK primary school libraries and the Michael Palin Centre for Stuttering too (because the main character overcomes his own stutter with the dinosaurs!). It will be properly published one day, for sure. Because it is good. Very.

 

 

My SANTA GOES ON STRIKE poem picture book is adored by both kids and adults, and is in so many schools in the UK, Italy, France, Canada, USA, which read it out loud at Christmas concerts a lot. Some selfish greedy consumerist types addicted to buying crap on Amazon should read it and hang their heads in shame.

 

It was featured on TALK RADIO EUROPE in their Christmas Eve show, read aloud by the wondrous Hannah Murray who has also interviewed me 7 times now on the BOOK SHOW, about THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER and THE LOVED ONES poetry book too, plus my novels RASMUS and SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE and my A CAT CALLED DOG books. Great book show, that. Best book show on radio anywhere!

 

All my cat books, child-friendly versions and crossover titles like THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER are in UK primary schools, libraries and yes, used in lessons even. Children LOVE my cat books! YAY! 

 

Kids can cope with them & love them all - though they're probably for more able readers (I refuse to dumb down ever; plenty of accessible books out there for less able readers). They are STORIES, where children LEARN that life is not all pink sunshine, rainbows & unicorns or fluffy pompom babyfication. Life is pain, suffering & has death within it; bad things happen, sadness is real. BUT people cope & survive & thus grow and learn RESILIENCE. That's what children NEED in stories, as Walt Disney knew, meaning as well as entertainment. That is what MOVES & MEANS. Walt got it, as do I.  Watch A KID FOR TWO FARTHINGS (1955) to see what kids can cope with - great story, that, very Jewish, did it at school (DGS 2nd yr).

 

The clueless hand-wringing woke hysterics demanding trigger warnings need to challenged, frankly - they cause anxiety in kids and stunt their development, cause them real harms. Their constant demand to trigger-warning everything and treat children like babies is tantamount to child abuse and, I suspect strongly, is even promoting and causing anxiety, depression and mental illness kids & the young.

 

And WHO THE HELL ARE THEY to pass judgment? Self-appointed finger-wagging nannies, misguided, ignorant and clueless. And just being parent does not make your opinion valid either (any idiot can breed - just look around you to see that!).

 

So...Challenge that narrative. Call out the lies of the self-appointed hysterical misguided fools who demand trigger warnings/bans. I do and always will to be true to myself - I refuse to pander to this dangerous hysterical nonsense. Shoo!

 

There are SO MANY setting themselves up online as 'experts' in publishing and writing when they do not have the track record at all to support that - like the malicious non-author who purports to be an expert whose only achievement seems to be posting thousands of free reviews over many years on Amazon and Goodreads which everyone ignores. Sad really.

 

IGNORE THESE BS MERCHANTS! These NOTHING people order trigger warnings to be placed on books - ironic really, as it is they who need a trigger warnings stamped on their foreheads!

 

And I am SO GLAD Disney is now removing all trigger warnings from films - even DUMBO got one, for pity's sake!

 

I cannot live a dishonest life - I cannot pretend to agree with all this woke nonsense when I do not. I refuse. If that makes me a heretic, so be it. Others can pander to the Woke Taliban. I shall not - instead I defend freedom of speech and expression for all. Real LIBERTY.

 

As Shakespeare says in HAMLET: "To thine own self be true". I am.

 

And as Chaucer wrote: "Practise what you preach".  I do.

 

Here I stand. I can do no other. Good. I do so like a fight!

 

In the midst of life we are in death. Deal with it. GROW UP! That is what children are doing anyway - better than some adults, arguably.

 

It is what HAS to be done. Otherwise, no resilience is developed - which is maybe why we see such an increase in mental illness in kids now. BABIFICATION did that. Silly mollycoddling mothers and paranoid parents did that in thrall to a scaremongering media stoking fear and hysteria to get more ratings/sales in a noisy crowded media landscape. Honestly, these people have the morality of rats.

TV IS A MONSTER (as I say in my 2016 TV novel RASMUS). Stunting children and stopping them reaching the normal, natural milestones of childhood is so very wrong and so sad. It is child abuse, really, in a toxic childhood which is sadly now typical in Britain (apeing the USA as usual). Just that. Does deep damage to developing brains.

 

Ditto re these kids' playgrounds with rubber tarmac and safety harnessed. JUST STOP SUFFOCATING KIDS. Let them take risks and let them get hurt too. Playgrounds etc should NOT be as 'safe as possible'; they should be 'as safe as NECESSARY'. On-trend disorders invented in 1980s like ADHD etc are caused by kids being cooped up all day long never being allowed out - they NEED activity and if kids are allowed to be kids, their disorders magically vanish. How sick that 10% children in the USA are on medication like Ritalin for ADHD and other socalled disorders. That is an epidemic of child abuse! Sick. DITCH THE MEDS! No child needs any like that.

 

Children's stories CAN be about serious subjects, THE most serious, death included. Kids CAN cope with it - way more than silly nannies think they can.  I do not think most people give kids enough credit - they can and do cope with big topics in fiction, books, films, some very dark stuff, yes including death, which they know is part of life. Children are like little sponges, can absorb a lot of information.

 

Yes, maybe films (on TV or internet) can be horrific - some kids' movies look horrific to me, so much violence and very scary, even for small children (though reality TV and shiny-floor show dross is more terrifying LOL as is all the no nonsense on TikTock etc). But then I watched Jaws at the cinema aged 8 as did all my class, back in the day I walked to and from school from age 8 too and played outside every day until dark, unless it was raining. We all did in 1970s!

 

The typical British childhood is sadly SO TOXIC these days, because society has been SO feminised, infantilised and babified, with hysterics in charge, when in fact the danger to kids is NOT from strange men out there at all, but by parents in the all-too-often-fatherless home - MOST babies who are killed are killed by women, and half of all kids. As for emotional abuse of children... And 40% dv is againat men mostly by women. These are verifiable facts and I state them merely because the manhating media refuses to - it is NOT misogynistic to state these crime statistics. The vile misandry now in our media is what we should worry about. It is deeply unhealthy and sexist against men and boys.

 

The internet is insidious & damaging to kids if used too much, of course, which happens -  screentime should be rationed! BUT I certainly do not support bad laws like the ONLINE SAFETY ACT to silence free speech online. Just wrong. A totally wrongheaded way to manage new technology is to ban it. The feminist lobby did that. They have always been such puritans, wanting to ban anything they dislike.

 

BUT back to books - we do NOT need to dumb down for kids in BOOKS, in stories, and we DO NOT need socalled sensitivity readers, yet another nonjob by the woke race racket diversity industry scam.

 

Indeed, we need to WISE UP! Lift the level of literacy in the young.

 

BE AMBITIOUS too. AMBITION IS CRITICAL as we say in Swansea.

 

We can and SHOULD introduce the very young to the bad things in life, and the natural things like death. That is what my beautiful cat book THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER does in an age-appropriate way, but not the twee slushy cod-spiritual way I HATE in some cat books - I deliberately did NOT write schmaltzy trash like that. I hate those sorts of stories. All four of my lovely cat books are on another level -meaningful, intelligent, and literary too. And they sell well too.

 

There is no horror at all in THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER, though it is an emotional rollercoaster of a story. No swearing in it either, no blood and guts, no staged horror as in trashy fantasy horror ebooks which are AWFUL - just lots of LOVE and feelings. Offensive? DOH!

 

But back to my lovely readers!

 

So, I have readers all over the world now who spontaneously get in touch from time to time, by email or Twitter-X or occasionally via this author website. Just got an email from someone who found a copy of my debut novel CRUMP (2010) actually - I replied of course, and informed him of the sequel too, SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE (2020) probably my best-written novel, and so very timely, with a lot of focus on anti-Semitism festering with Islamism & wokery on campus and the usual wilful blindness of academics and uni managers.

 

I know my books really MOVE people, emotionally connect with them - or as one deranged hysteric reviewer says, 'trigger' them. GOOD!  All that psychobabble word means is a book MOVED PEOPLE EMOTIONALLY which is evidence of an author SUCCEEDING! Doh! Those pillocks parroting psychobabble words like 'trigger' are always so clueless, and less bright than parrots too! Just THICK, in a word.

 

An emotional reaction to words is what writers crave. I achieve it. That is because I work hard to develop my writing talent to get that reaction. It is SUCCESS! For a writer, getting that reaction in readers is SUCCESS! An author has MOVED a reader with words. GREAT!

 

Some readers have told me THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER made them cry, really touched them, broke them up, but in a GOOD way, cathartic of course, and it all is inevitable as death is, and leads to the lovely heartwarming ending. It is a STORY. It is FICTION.

 

I told these readers about my psychocyberstalker and they have all seen the prolonged hate campaign of abuse incl real racist antiSemitic abuse I have endured for over a year, since August 28th 2023 until 13th September 2024 from this ONE deranged maniac hater hellbent on revenge against me for my challenging a sick disgusting defamatory review of my book - and they are APPALLED.

 

I can prove that certain person obsessively looks at THIS my author page too. I have data for many months showing location and still do (no VPN can evade my IT skills). YET MORE EVIDENCE of my cyberstalker's obsession. The guilty will pay, for sure, in so many ways. Again, watch this space. JUSTICE IS COMING and sooner than they think. Expect to see a news story on TV about this soon.

 

 

I am pleased to say I have some big fans in Germany - I may visit there again next year. I've been a few times, several cities (Berlin, Bochum, Dortmund), but many years ago, and my German is ropey (trying to brush it up now with a LEARN GERMAN course, which is going...well...but slowly, at my age).

 

I LOVE GERMANY! And I can even say that in German!

 

In Germany, I could do more Nazi and WWII research for future crime thrillers I plan to write; & I've never visited Hamburg (where my 4th cousin twice removed was the posh British/Welsh officer in charge post WWII), and Nazi home city Munich and all Bavaria, so...looking forward to visits tp them. While there, I shall research the sequels for my NAZI CRIME THRILLER set in 1980s which is a work in progress (on draft 6 now, will edit further after professional report advice).

 

I am expert in WWII and the rise of the Nazis anyway, could quite happily teach courses on it for weeks without notes. It is one of my many interests due to my family history and Jewish heritage - and the parallels I see with the modern UK thought police and the Nazi Gestapo/SS are stark. SOMETHING MUST CHANGE, or there WILL be a reckoning and riots ahead I am sure. The people will not take much more of this. A reset needed. A reboot. An uprising maybe.

 

I love Germany and many mainland European countries more than the increasingly puritanical UK, now infected with wokeness and race obsession from the USA, with a corrupt pc gestapo police silencing free speech like the Stasi. Same motivation. Just wrong. Our thought  police state Stasi shame us all. BUT NOW the USA looks likely to de-Woke itself - YAY! I hope they do and that the UK follows their lead.

 

I sincerely hope my abusers will be hoist by their own petard and in public, in full view of the media and the people. The two-tier policing we have seen lately is disgusting. J'accuse and justice is coming for you, in complaints process and civil courts, and maybe even criminal courts too. Police should not lie, be biased, abuse and injure inoocent victims who've been wrongly accused of making threats and more by a malicious vengeful superloony liar with a grudge.

 

TRUTH WILL OUT and be a BIG news story - I am fine with that, and can give TV interviews galore. I have NOTHING to hide and am ashamed and embarrassed by nothing either. I do so hope my haters can as cameras will be on them too from the Great British press.

 

Me, I have only ever wanted this psycho who is obsessed with me to LEAVE ME ALONE - I have never had any desire to meet or know the hater who spewed 10,000 words of abuse at me on MY book pages on Goodreads for OVER a year (28.8.23-13.9.24), and much of that defamatory filth is STILL THERE after 4 of my books, 3 of which I can PROVE my hater has not bought or read, showing the motivation for hateful reviews is BARE REVENGE AND MALICE.

 

EVIDENCE EVIDENCE EVIDENCE which will be shown in court, ALL 10,000 words of the lies and abuse by the psycho who went for me with 12 false accusations of defamation & bare lies which I can prove as lies (e.g. the claim I have sold hardly any books when the reviewer has NO ACCESS AT ALL to my sales data; the claim my reviews by famous people are fake - I have physical evidence to prove they are real and true; the claim I threatened people is very serious and action WILL be taken on that and more).

 

I have NEVER threatened anyone. Ever. And I have always deplored violence of any kind. SO for some nobody psycho cyberstalker to cover MY book pages on Goodreads/Amazon with such disgusting defamatory and filthy accusations from 28.8.23 to 14.4.25) is something I shall NOT ignore. You think this is a silly game? Really? After what you have done to me, I shall ensure you face justice and that the media exposes you and me and this whole saga to show you for what you are to the whole world. I have NO interest in any psycho cyberstalker obsessed with ME for well over a year now. I shall leave it to the law and the Great British Press BUT you started this and it will not stop now - I shall see it through till the end, until I am satified, until I get justice and adequate compensation for the massive trauma needlessly caused to me by a very disturbed and obsessive individual. This all inspired by new novel of course and I cannot WAIT for that to get published. This will go on for years now, because of the lies you told, your deranged claims of victimhood. It ends which I decide it does, when justice is served and I am compensated and the corrupt liars who did this pay the price.

 

I CANNOT WAIT! Justice is coming. Information, that, not threat.

 

Defamation against me  is STILL on Goodreads under my THE LOVED ONES poetry collection as here - a claim my qualifications are fake.

 

"Reading the whole lot was not easy and with such highly claimed qualifications this doesn’t lined up with someone with a Degree in English Lit, Creative Writing or many other degrees."

 

The Loved Ones - A Collection of Pandemic Poems about Love and Loss by Jem Vanston | Goodreads 

 

www.goodreads.com/book/show/60811345-the-loved-ones---a-collection-of-pandemic-poems-about-love-and-loss 

 

Of course, my hater has not read or bought that book (which I can prove with EVIDENCE as I am also the publisher). SO trashing a book in revenge because you are harassing an author to try and adversely affect his sales and trash his reputation. Hmmm. I can PROVE that vile nasty malicious reviewer only read a sample of THE LOVED ONES the  trashed the book. Well that shows what a vile toxic monster she is. She is a completely thick ignorant reader of course so does not realise the poem HE'S DEAD (which she copied and pasted from the free Amazon sample to spew her abusive spiteful review) references a CAROL ANN DUFFY poem about names for a willy. No but the toxic malicious psychowitch eaten up with hatred and revenge spews abuse to my poems (as if the opinion of a thicko housewife mental woman matters!) completely failing to understand them (as thick uneducated uncultured people tend to). Thicko remedial bimbo-brainss should stick to the icky slushy insta-drivel nonpoems on trend now and leave the intelligent poems to those with the brains, culture and education to cope with them. The loony even demands YET ANOTHER trigger warning in case my poems 'upset' people. OF FOOOK RIGHT OFF, MORON 'MOANA GROAN', NON-AUTHOR THICKO LIAR WITCH. 

 

AS ALL intelligent people know, black humour is great - ask any paramedic how they cope, and gallows humour is always there.

 

As the great MARK STEEL recently said "There's nothing more amusing than puncturing the pomposity of a situation, which is why I don't think I've ever been to a funeral where there's not been a really good joke because someone has said something outrageous." 

 

However, it is YOUR funeral not mine that is coming, in legal terms, and here is why. YOU claimed to police you had read THE LOVED ONES. Odd that, as I can prove AS PUBLISHER OF THE BOOK that you did not. I can PROVE IT with evidence as the publisher, and it helps that there are very few sales of poem books online (most sell in person for serious poets anyway), so your lies stand out. Really. You did NOT buy the ebook or even read KINDLE READER pages because, you see, my KDP data as publishers shows that too. You read a SAMPLE. Off Amazon, and someone read 12 pages of the book digitally which may by you BUT 12 pages. A SAMPLE. But you told police you had read the whole book THE LOVED ONES before trashing it in a malicious BITCH review.  ERGO you lied to police, which is perverting the course of justice. QED. Yes you read a SAMPLE of the book on Amazon as we all can. Copied and pasted from that and this, my author page, where I posted some poems, BUT you neither bought or read THE LOVED ONES and I can PROVE IT. HA! That is PERVERTING THE COURSE OF JUSTICE and you WILL be arrested.

 

I shall demand it, and push hard for that, and if the corrupt police side with you I shall 1) sue tham and 2) bring a private prosecution against you. See you in court, psychostalker - and I shall demand you attend that and ANY other court proceedings in person. Then the media and TV can take a good look at your ugly twisted lying face.

 

Then there are the 2 x PJ Vanston books you, my obsessive fixated psycho stalker found on a completely DIFFERENT page on Goodreads (not the JEM VANSTON one, which proves malicious stalker intent as you SEARCHED for me there), then you actively reached out to reviewers from 2020 and 2017 (!!!) inciting those third parties for join your malicious hate campaign against me and trash my 9 LIVES OF SUMMER book. What kind of person DOES that? An obsessive hater stalker hellbent on a prolonged hate campaign of harassment and revenge, that is who. YOU HAVE HARASSED ME FOR OVER A YEAR. From 28.8.23 to 14.4.25. THOSE DATES WILL BE RECORDED IN COURT. Got that? I have EVIDENCE to prove it all.

 

Anyway, here is more disgusting FILTH defamation STILL there on Goodreads in comments after those books - again, real evidence which means I can and shall sue. I AM COMING FOR YOU ALL IN COURT. And I cannot WAIT to tell my story. Justice WILL be served.

 

This disgusting comment is under  my 2016 TV novel RASMUS, as my toxic psychostalker (who has not READ this book or ANY of my books except THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER which they got for FREE from MY NetGalley offer) reaches out to a reviewer from then thus:

 

 
"Shockingly the themes of violence and ugly events are also in his children’s book The Nine Lives of Summer. I had to review it with a possible trigger warning for children and some adults due to the animal cruelty. If you look at social media posts the hatred of certain groups of society (racist is an understatement) spills over into his writing. I’ve read a lot of reviews of this and other books on Amazon and many say similar to yourself."
 
 

Call me racist? Call my books and social media posts racist? I SHALL SUE YOU SO HARD NOW! It is a DISGUSTING allegation ESPECIALLY from someone whose tweets were vile racist anti-Semitic filth.

 

Rasmus by P.J. Vanston | Goodreads

 

www.goodreads.com/book/show/32938367-rasmus?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=kzRgVxjZeE&rank=1 

 

 

You claim I write books to hate on certain groups in society? NOT what the evidence shows you deeply deranged and disturbed malicious liar.

 

Actually, I defend Jews from disgusting anti-Semite haters (like you)  so maybe that is what you mean? YOUR TWISTED FILTHY LIES will haunt you, I promise. Because I SHALL see you in court and force you to appear too and get grilled by my legal team on your multiple lies and your disgusting hateful allegations against me.

 

If you think you can spew such abuse, such disgusting filthy false accusations and lies against me WITHOUT consequences, then THINK AGAIN. THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES. And soon. Justice will be done. I CANNOT WAIT. "We must know evil in order to destroy it." Yup. I know evil and I shall destroy it. Legally, in full view of the British and world public (and my suing Goodreads/Amazon will get international media focus on my stalker too - I LOVE publicity but maybe psychotic hatemonger cyberstalkers will not. HA HA!)

 

It is more than defamation, it is a vile determined attempt by an obsessive PSYCHO to destroy my life. A prolonged hate campaign of harassment from 28/8/23-13/9/24 (nope correction, until 14/4/25). I have all screenshots. EVIDENCE IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!

 

ALL of the posts and reviews and comments by my abuser on MY book pages are BARE provocation,. WHY ARE THEY EVEN THERE? On 4 of my books, 3 the psychotic witch has not read or bought (I can prove it). This is a nasty bullying campaign of hate and harassment, prolonged and targeted, by ONE deeply vengeful individual hellbent on revenge ALL BECAUSE I challenged her LOONY review of my cat book. Honestly what a deranged mentalist. Not normal. PSYCHO!

 

Btw these are MY BOOK PAGES for MY BOOKS which you have hijacked AND the PJ Vanston book pages you had to search for, and then try to incite third parties who'd posted reviews YEARS ago to join your snide evil hate campaign against me. Just SICK, so twisted and evil. As I say in my new novel: SHE'S A DISEASE. Yup.

 

WHY? Maybe coz you are not an author and have no books published? Talentless nothings tend to do that. Motivated by envy? Talentless nothings often post lame reviews on Amazon - which no-one likes or reads anyway (see the 0 likes after them all). That does NOT make you an author. It makes you an abuser. A stalker. A loony.

 

BUT NO MATTER, and thanks for the evidence - to accuse an innocent man of what you have done means you will face real legal and severe consequences. Lawyers are on it already. Expect to pay. Expect maximum publicity too. Expect... WHICH is not a threat (I have NEVER threatened anyone in my life and your claim I did is JUST ANOTHER LIE for habitual liar cyberstalker PSYCHOWOMAN ). Informing someone that you know their address is not a threat either - it is INFORMING someone. An address is needed to serve legal papers and it is EASY to find anyone's address online, After all, you my stalker obsessively stalked me on ALL my pages in Amazon and Goodreads (under my 2 author names) and here of course on MY AUTHOR WEBSITE. Why? WHY are you so obsessed with me? Have you told police why, stalker? Is it your history of mental illness? I have no idea and DO NOT CARE - because I DO NOT CARE about you or your life and never have, so your claim I am threatening and stalking you is YET ANOTHER of your defamatory lies which the evidence shows are just that. It matters. Your pity party playing the victim with the #believewomen police will not wash in court. And those corrupt police will face consequences too, oh yes. In progress.

 

And as for Goodreads/Amazon who have enabled your disgusting racist hate campaign of lies and defamation against me - and our filth and lies are still there on MY book pages (see above). Well they will pay too BIG TIME - huge compo. I now have a no-win-no-fee attorney in California who will prepare a  case against them as they are not only negligent (they ignored my appeals to remove your hate and defamation WHICH IS STILL THERE on my pages in comments), they are complicit in siding with a racist anti-Semitic cyberstalker pursuing a vile hate campaign against me on MY BOOK PAGES. A win for me in court, easily, I think. Probably settle before then, for big compo.

 

And the police you lied to who did your bidding and who automatically believed you in their #believewomen delusion? They will pay too - 6 figure compo. And the corrupt thugs in 2 forces will pay with their careers. BIG COMPO for me from it all.  HELL FOR ALL OF YOU. And that is how JUSTICE is restored to the universe... even if it takes years. Fine. I shall go on till the END. IT IS WAR! I shall not lose it. It can last for 2,3,4,5,10 years fine - I shall not give up fighting and I shall WIN and I KNOW IT. Ever heard the phrase 'hoist by one's own petard'? No? Well, look in the mirror. It looks like that.

 

SEE YOU ALL IN COURT! You lied to police too so they cannot help you now - in fact, they'll surely arrest you for perverting the course of justice (I shall demand it). ON CAMERA. As a victim of toxic femininity and female rage - my own personal BABY REINDEER...

 

The hate aimed at me is motivated by racism anyway, bare anti-Semitism (I have screenshots of my hater's social media posts which expose that) - and the Jewish press is on it (and I have already spoken to Israeli media who want to feature it and may they say visit the UK to interview all involved). I HATE anti-Semites and racists - and faith-hate bigots and homophobes and the rest. But anti-semites especially and with my Jewish heritage, I shall expose the Jewhaters no matter WHO they are. And of course, I have EVIDENCE in screenshots of so many anti-Semitic tweets PLUS the false accusations against me (on MY BOOK PAGES on Goodreads to boot)

 

 

Anyhoo, I also hope to visit Israel next year to meet a beautiful, brave people in THEIR homeland.

 

I shall use the big 6-fugure damages/compensation I shall be receiving from various parties - for being the target of an anti-Semitic racist hate campaign, and sustained harassment, stalking and abuse online, with 12 counts of defamation and more, personal injury and discrimination from the corrupt thug Welsh/English police etc - to travel there (oh the sweet SWEET irony, and then some). I may live and work there in future. We'll see. Best visit first! Holiday ahead.

 

AM YISRAEL CHAI!

 

Like Israel, I never give up either! We are WINNERS! The haters are silly bigoted hateful losers and will be destroyed. Yup.

 

When there in Israel, I shall certainly share my experience of being attacked by malicious hatemonger anti-Semites in the UK who accuse anyone supporting Israel/Jews of being a racist. They even managed to mobilise corrupt and systemically anti-Semitic/racist/sexist UK police in their obsessive hate campaigns of revenge against their victims,  which is basically anyone who exposes their deranged malicious mendacious hateful racist anti-Semitic instincts (a news story soon). I shall no doubt be interviewed by the Israeli media/TV, as well as Jewish media in the UK, and many other national media outlets including TV. Bring it on! I have NOTHING to hide.

 

I have done TV/radio interviews galore before, so will, when I visit Israel. I shall tell my story about the anti-Semitic-inspired abuse I have suffered online for a year now and the systemically anti-Semitic UK police force with its appalling bias & two-tier policing. FOR SHAME!

 

 

Hating Jews/Zionists/Israel is NOT 'progressive' at all, NOT 'liberal', NOT 'tolerant' or 'diverse'. It is racist, the New Nazi-ism in fact, which attracts 'useful idiots' & the clueless desperate to conform to what they've been told is 'progressive' 'liberal' and 'tolerant' which it is the precise opposite: regressive, illiberal and intolerant and yes, racist, in its veiled and direct antiSemitism. SHAME ON THEM ALL.

 

Accusing a supporter of Israel who defends Jews, and criticises anti-Semitic hate march mobs of all colours and faiths of racism, is sick and twisted indeed, as well as deeply malicious and defamatory. It is SO VERY WRONG, especially when police parrot the lies of a malicious mendacious obsessive deranged maniac with a grudge - their systemic sexism/misandry, pro-female bias, racism and anti-Semitism will be exposed by me soon. The haters will ALL be exposed by the media soon, including the police and my accuser. And will get sued. HARD. And liars may well get arrested too!

 

Also, Goodreads/Amazon enabled and continue to enable a vicious defamatory hate campaign against me on MY book pages on Goodreads and Amazon reviews - revenge reviews by a malicious hater who I can prove did not buy or read my THE LOVED ONES book. They will all pay. Dearly. In UK and US courts. 7/8 figures.

 

Anyway, THAT is my bright future and I shall FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT to expose the liars in the glare of the Great British Press and media and make them face justice for sure. I CANNOT WAIT!

 

It's all been an ordeal, for sure, this total fecking farce, like some mad malicious Monty Python, and a massive waste of public money because ONE DERANGED OBSESSIVE CYBERSTALKER PSYCHOHATER MENTALPAUSALMANIAC hater decided to get revenge and so tried to destroy a man's life - well such evil people are often hoist by their own petard as their hate gets turned on themselves and they get destroyed. WATCH THIS SPACE. 

 

 

The abusive comments to me by my harasser cyberstalker have all been so disgustingly insulting, abusive and offensive, & caused me severe alarm and distress, deep trauma and real suffering in so many ways (as I have stated in my VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT prepared with my whole case already). I have 3 huge folders of the 10,000 words of abuse on Goodreads (my 4 book pages under 2 names) Amazon (2 reviews, 1 provably fake NO VERIFIED PURCHASE - as publisher I can PROVE the reviewer did not buy the ebook or download page reads LOL! GOTCHA!), and Twitter (inciting third parties to join my stalker's hate campaign against me was a regular habit as was lying - in effect silencing me and stopping me responding to the malicious defamatory hate and lies against me on Goodreads HENCE my posting my opinions on  MY author website, often jokes too, which my stalker checked and screenshot obsessively like the psycho they are).

 

SO laughable that my abuser claims ' I’m a 100% honest reviewer.' YEAH RIGHT! You trash my poetry book without ever having read it, NO VERIFIED PURCHASE - you LIED, did a fake trash review to get revenge on me for a book of bereavement poetry and so you LIED TO POLICE which I can PROVE with evidence. Oh dear. CRIMINAL OFFENCE of perverting the course of justice, and withholding evidence from police, and making a false report to police PLUS the harassment and malicious communications against me, the false claims I am racist. I TAKE THIS ALL VERY SERIOUSLY AND I SHALL NOT LOSE THIS WAR. I shall win, and then some. And I shall force my abuser to appear in court. CU there. Fame is coming...

 

And all this abuse and nonsense for over a year in a prolonged hate campaign of harassment - and for what? To satisfy the obsessive hunger for revenge of a deeply delusional, nasty, malicious, narcisstic, obsessive, vengeful, vindictive mentalist nothing whose sad pathetic mentalist loon life consists of lying like a loonie in bed all day stuffing that malicious psychoface with snacks and posting free reviews everyone ignore on Amazon/Goodreads? Sad. Yes, this is DEFINITELY a criminal matter- private prosecution too if police refuse to act (in which case I shall sue police for corruption & bias) - I can prove they were lied to by my abuser, which is a preverting the course of justice, and false reporting and withholding evidence). 

 

It is harassment, malicious communications too, and definite defamation. STALKING even. Of me. Not by me. I am the victim, NOT the villain. JUSTICE IS COMING, FOLKS! This victim bites back!

 

I shall FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT and I shall WIN WIN WIN. Make no mistake. What I have been through if so awful, but I am still here and my abusers will pay, face justice and get what they deserve. 

 

Remember, I never never NEVER give up, not when I know I am in the right. If my enemies and abusers are not worried, maybe they should be. The law is coming for all of you. VICTORY WILL BE MINE.

 

I've also just been reading psychological research (I do read such stuff a lot) which shows women tend to weaponise lies and gossip to get back at men especially, to bully, to punish, to humiliate, to get revenge against their enemies and destroy their reputations (whereas men tend to use violence for revenge). Yup, that's my abuser alright. Clear borderline personality disorder - attention-seeking, manipulative, devious - and narcisstic personality disorder too, so vengeful, triggered by trivia to obsessively pursue a hate campaign of revenge against someone who has dared to challenge them. And like so many deranged people, my abuser's refuge is religion, bible-reading, and endless psychobable self-help books. TEXT BOOK PSYCHO actually. Boring. Think MISERY or BABY REINDEER.

 

The attempt to wreck my writing career and trash my reputation has been very real, deliberate, planned, prolonged, malicious, vindictive, twisted, obsessive, and a HUGE waste of public money and time - just some one deeply disturbed vengeful hater can get revenge on my for calling our the deranged defamatory review for posted for my beautiful much-loved book THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER. 

 

I remain utterly shocked that ONE malicious individual managed to mobilise our corrupt thug police as their own private militia to try and ruin my life and destroy me - THAT is narcissitic psycho disorder, RIGHT THERE. Well, my life is not destroyed, but my abusers' soon may well be as I fight and fight in court and law to get justice and to expose my abuser in the full glar of publicity and prove myself the victim in this vile scenario. AND I CANNOT WAIT! Really.

 

It is TOXIC FEMINITY, deranged narcissistic personality disorder, I think, toxic  textbook malicious snide female-type bullying and that has inspired my great new novel. It is SO common but often ignored by a feminised media and hardly ANY of these abusive women ever get arrested or forced to appear in court, criminal or civil (my abuser will!). And just SO spiteful and SO NASTY - see Neil Gaiman and other recent victims of it. They know that any man accused is assumed to be guilty and the usually-anonymous women accusers can lie and lie without fear of punishment. THAT MUST CHANGE. And I can assure you, my abuser will NOT remain anonymous - but that is for the Great British Media/TV to deal with, not me. FAME IS COMING! Bring it on. I shall have justice. In public. FAME AT LAST! I am the victim here.

 

Spreading false accusations and defamation (12 cases of it) against me on MY BOOK PAGES on Goodreads then malicious inciting third parties to join in too crossed a BIG line - especially when it involved lying to police (they accept I threatened no-one & that the malicious review of my poetry book is by someone who has not read it). And the total hypocrisy when the psychowoman is triggering by someone posting a 1* review for the self-published US horror short story collection in 2016 in which she had one story - yes, the femihypocrite witch went APESHIT CRAZY when a book in which SHE has one pathetic short story got a bad review AND YET she spends over a year spewing 10,000 words of vile abuse at me on Amazon and Goodreads after MY books most of whch she has not read - the media/press has FULL details and will feature this and name names. I shall not. I shall watch though as the psycho is exposed as my own personal BABY REINDEER in national media and TV. Gonna make the hater famous!

 

I am the victim here, in the right, merely responded to a prolonged hate campaign of harassment aimed at ME on MY book pages on Goodreads (and Amazon and Twitter). All on screenshots for later.  It has all been an awful experience to be honest BUT one which will mean I am well-compensated for the alarm, distress, abuse, suffering, pain, stress caused to me and one which will also make my name and boost my career as an author for sure.

 

Funny how things go, innit? 

 

JUSTICE IS COMING, FOLKS!

 

Of course, on the plus side, my ordeal has inspired my great new novel, which is a real cracker, so timely and on trend, 85000 words about a psychowoman stalker. My new PSYCHOWOMAN CYBERSTALKER NOVEL is really GRRREAT! So very on trend and timely too, my own personal BABY REINDEER and so cinematic - I look forward to writing a screenplay for it, or a teleplay for a TV drama. THEN my case will be famous as will my abuser.

 

And the damages I shall be awarded in the UK and US will be huge. Plus private prosecution possible in both criminal and civil law. Oh I am JUST getting started! This will not end until I am satisfied that justice has been done, the guilty have been punished properly, and I have be adquately compensated by guilty parties.

 

When I choose, I shall make this a big media story and THEN the Great British Press can go doorstepping, interview all parties. GREAT!

 

I shall give anyone a TV/radio/press interview about anything - I love TV/radio interviews, so direct and honest, better arguably that press interviews which can distort and misquote imho. 

 

Press/media can contact me by email acatcalleddog@hotmail.co.uk any time.

JUST TO SAY: Many thanks to the organisations and individuals for information,  support & advice - Society of Authors, Free Speech Union (Toby and the legal team there with VERY helpful free advice), AFAF, CIEO, several Jewish organisations, journalist colleagues and contacts via BBC/ITV/GBNews @X and many more, my solicitors Goldstones and more. Much appreciated. We shall win this thing and get justice done, as we all know.

 

The FSU especially is great and I recommend people join.

 

But WHAT a MASSIVE waste of PUBLIC MONEY, time, energy ALL to satisfy the quest for revenge from one deranged individual. THAT IS SO VERY WRONG. The guilty will pay, for sure.

 

That money COULD have been spent on fighting real crime. Helping people. Defending the vulnerable. But OH NOW little miss toxic, the perpetual pity party crybully victim, complains to police after she spewed 10,000 words of vile abuse at me for months on MY book pages on Goodreads (targeted harassment, that, and prolonged, lasting 28.8.23-13.9.24), and claims to be a victim. Well the evidence shows the opposite and I shall press for arrest of a liar who manipulated and lied to the police as part of her deranged toxic obsessive hate campaign of revenge against me. JUSTICE WILL COME - though it will take years and cozt taxpayers a packet ALL BECAUSE of one twisted sick malicious individual triggered by my challenging her lies, ignorance and deranged book review of MY BOOK. The media will shame her and plaster that twisted sick face all over the place too, a real-life BABY REINDEER, a PSYCHOWOMAN supreme. 

 

The media have a great story which exposes the extent of anti-Semitism and police  corruption in the UK, in our #twotierpolice too, and which nails the abusers, names and shames them - which is up to the free press, not me. I have NO interest in my abuser who's spewed such hate at me for so long - I only ever wanted her to LEAVE ME ALONE and stop polluting MY book pages with FILTH from her disgusting deranged hateful Jewhating brain. I have no interest in meeting or visiting this witch either.  I have vere ever threatened her or ANYONE ELSE in my life, and no, I am not racist, sexist, an animal abuser promoting diability hate crime or ALL THE OTHER LIES from that crazed psychobith. And yes, I shall press for arrest and yes, I shall sue for damages, and make this a big news story, get my hater's face plastered all over the media and internet and TV, and my pretty face too LOL. I am fine with ALL AND ANY publicity - I have NOTHING to hide at all and am PROUD to have stood up to a bully, a vile liar, a disgusting anti-Semite racist hater misandrist. 

 

As I said, I have only ever wanted by psycho cyberstalker to LEAVE ME ALONE but the loonie did not - instead they obsessively spewed abuse and defamation and hate against me for over a year and incited third parties to join in. CRIMINALLY SICK AND INSANE MAYBE?

 

I have harassed and abused no-one - I am not the villain, I am THE VICTIM HERE of a prolonged hate campaign of revenge, harassment and malicious communications from a deeply deranged, dishonest and disturbed obsessive individual who just would NOT leave me alone (the abuse is STILL THERE on Amazon and in comments after 4 of my books on Goodreads - ALL EVIDENCE with the rest). And it never ends. It is STILL going on. This will NEVER END until I have justice.

 

I have all the evidence I need to prove in any context or court that:

 

1) my abuser stalked me in a prolonged, obsessive hate campaign or revenge for over a year (28/8/23-13/9/24) on multiple platforms online incl MY book pages on Goodreads and 2 on Amazon x4 & so much antiSemitic abuse against me on Twitter-X, incl fake lie-spewing malicious reviews for books (12 clear points of defamation incl disgusting claims I make threats, am racist, promote animal cruelty and disbaility hate crime!) Much of that abuse is STILL HERE, including real defamation, claiming my qualifications are fake, that I am promoting animal cruelty, disability hate speech/crime, racism etc. IT IS SICK and the poster of that WILL PAY for what they have done, and then some. I do not care if she is OFF HER HEAD mentalist - I am coming for JUSTICE. The obsessive hate campaign I have been subjected to is vile, anti-Semitic, sexist, sick & my abuser WILL be named and shamed in the media I am sure, and they can investigate all her other victims and that backstory of compo-claiming complaints no doubt going back decades. The media will do this, NOT ME. I have never harassed anyone in my life nor conducted a prolonged obsessive hate campaign against anyone - I have merely DEFENDED MYSELF against them by crazed malicious psycho crybullies like this one (though it seems all who attack and bully me end up physically and mentally ill, so maybe Karma works LOL).  I can PROVE my hater did not buy or even download pagereads - I am publisher and so have data. I can also prove that my hater ONLY contacted police AFTER I told them what they was saying about me on MY book pages on Goodreads (which is targeted harassment) was defamation and I could SUE HER - my hated whinged about that on MY book page in the 5000 words of vile comments after my beautiful cat book THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER - i have ALL screenshots as evidence; my abuser then manufactured victimhood FALSELY claiming I threatened them - something which is A DISGUSTING AND MALICIOUS FALSE ACCUSATION and also defamation and which WILL be paid for in court. Moreover, I can prove my abuser LIED to police with malicious fake claims and accusations against me. LIES, PROVABLE LIES. So perverting the course of justice; making a false report to police; withholding evidence from police - 3 serious criminal offences for which many have been jailed in the past. Please note: a PRIVATE PROSECUTION will happen if corrupt police fail to act (IOPC again for them if they so that). And whatever happens, I shall force my abuser to appear in person in court, to be cross-examined and exposed in public for the malicious mendacious manipulative habitual liar they are - and a subpoena will force that appearance, if appropriate. The media/TV will all be invited. SO See you in court.  GOTCHA.

 

2) I can also prove the police were biased, systemically

antiSemitic/sexist, dishonest, abusive, violent, sided with my FEMALE and seemingly ANTI-SEMITIC abuser for sexist/racist reasons probably & repeated the lies my abuser spewed verbally and on paper. The police lied. GOTCHA. For that and causing me physical and mental injury for life THEN police officers trying to force me into a false confession (VERY serious that and all on camera). I shall be suing HARD and have been told to expect a large sum in damages for the many harms I have unnecessarily suffered, and I shall in tandem be making several official complaints to the IOPC, of real corruption, racism, systemic anti-Semitism, misandry and more.  GOTCHA.

 

3) I can prove that the amoral Goodreads (owned by Amazon) enabled a hate campaign against me by not enforcing their own rules on my abuser who's given them 1300 free copy reviews over 12+ years - the distress, damage, hurt and financial loss to me will be factored in to the damages they will pay. I contacted Goodreads 3 times when my abuser spewed defamatory abuse at me in the original review - they did nothing and did not even have the courtesy to reply. The defamation and hate is STILL THERE in reviews & comments by my stalker after 4 of my books on Goodreads, after more than a year (police ordered my abuser to remove most of the defamatory abusive malicious harassing comments after THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER on 23/12/23 which is a bare admission of guilt, right there). The prolonged viscious vindictive vengeful obsessive abuse against me for over a year is harassment and deliberate malicious communications whose aim is to cause ME alarm and distress and to adversely affect my writing career and reputation - criminal act, then. It is also DEFAMATION, in civil law, a malicious racist anti-semitic hate campaign against me full of fale accusations and defamation (12 points) as enabled by Amazon LLC. GOTCHA.

 

GOTCHA! x3. 

 

Justice is coming, folks!

 

WATCH THIS SPACE!

My GREAT diverse anti-racist book THE NINE LIVES OF SUMMER is an emotional roller-coaster and I am SO glad that ALL the reviews of it are 4 and 5 stars. 

 

If you really are an author, you write. You create. Always. That is who you are. That is who I am.

 

People like me do not retire.

 

And I shall never - NEVER - be silenced. 

 

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

 

NO PASARAN!

 

 

The Nine Lives of Summer is a heart-warming tale ideal for both children and adult cat lovers of all ages. 

 

It is the purr-fect book for fans of A Street Cat Named Bob and A Cat Called Dog, as well as stories about refugees such as The Boy at the Back of the Class.

 

“A heart-warming tale with a life-affirming message.”

 

“Often funny, sometimes sad, always full of hope.”

 

One cat, nine lives and a quest to find a way home

MY TEN PUBLISHED BOOKS 2010-2023

Well here they are, the result of 15 years' hard work, almost half a million words, 10 books including a collection of poetry, 3 satirical novels, 4 cat novels/stories, a non-fiction quote book, and a Christmas poem picture book.

 

Thousands of hours' work; thousands in investment in myself and NOT a penny of public subsidy. I would have earned more on minimum wage stacking shelves, frankly.

 

Was it worth it? Yes and no. Yes for the enormous satisfaction of authoring and publishing real high-quality and worthwhile stories; no, financially and for the energy it has taken from my income-earning projects and business, and then the vile abuse from certain hateful reviewers with issues. BUT that is what dedication means.

 

It will be if the Nazi Crime Thriller novel ( a very psychological and original speculative story) I have just completed (1st draft) gets signed up by an agent/publisher for a series, with TV/film rights, for sure. It'd make a great movie - actually, my writing is all very cinematic so most of my books would make great films too (animation maybe for the cat stories).

 

But yes of course, it is a MASSIVE achievement and I am proud of the originality and high quality of all my books. Tbh despite sound commercial arguments, I have no interest in churning out genre ebooks in production-line-crime or romantic escapism genres as some do - but whatever floats your boat... They can work their side of the street, and I shall work mine.

 

All my books are in public libraries and The British Library. My pandemic poems are in the National Library of Wales and Museum of London 'Covid' archive collections for evermore...

I am pleased to announce the publication of my debut collection of poetry, THE LOVED ONES - A COLLECTION OF PANDEMIC POEMS ABOUT LOVE AND LOSS, by Jem Vanston, on 9th April 2022.

 

There are 54 poems in the collection, including 10 song lyrics - 9 have links to online demo recordings of the songs, so it's a real multimedia project! Most were written in 2020/21.

 

It's a diverse collection of poems, some darky funny, others very moving. Lots of poems about grief, bereavement, loss, death but also love - and hope.

 

Quite a few war poems here - First and Second World War poems, a Falklands poem (song), Viking, Roman, ancient warrior themes. Inspired by the war on Covid really but now sadly and tragically very timely as the war in Ukraine rages. A diverse collection of poems about grief, bereavement and death in all contexts, LOVE AND LOSS.

 

The back cover explains this, so some fake trash review by a deranged hater semi-literate loon who claims they bought the book (A PROVEN LIE as I can show this reviewer DID NOT buy the ebook or read more than 12 page reads via Kindle Reader) moaning not every poem is about the Covid Pandemic just shows what clueless malicious morons some reviewers are. I shall definitely be writing poems about my experience of being stalked online by an obsessive deranged hater in future - I have already written a novel inspired by it!

 

Two poems here are in the National Library of Wales Covid Collection - POEM OF THE PLAGUE YEAR and TWENTY-TWENTY: A YEAR IN THE LIFE (read them on the NEWS page of this website). The latter was also featured on That's Swansea Bay TV on November 5th 2020 (anyone interested can scroll back on Facebook to that clip), and also praised as 'poignant' by a representative of Her Majesty the Queen. It is most unusual for replies from royalty to include an opinion, so maybe the poem was read by our monarch. Who knows?

 

The paperback costs £8.99 - feel free to email me if you want to order a signed copy (acatcalleddog@hotmail.co.uk). The eBook is £3.99 - and the songlinks work better on there.

 

Here is the Amazon.co.uk link to the book (copy and paste):

1st SEPTEMBER 2021

 

I am proud to announce publication of my book of quotes:

 

'THINKING TIME: 365 inspiring, amusing and thought-provoking quotes to get you through the year'

 

£7.99 paperback - the perfect Christmas present!

 

Great for quotes for lessons, lectures, services, speeches. Also useful for developing 'Intelligent Mindfulness' - a quote a day for a year for a daily mindfulness focus. And you'll learn something!

 

Plenty of quotes from Ancient Greece/Rome/China; plenty of quotes from authors, artists, politicians, actors, musicians, film/pop stars too - as reflects my education and interests.

 

Lots of wise and witty quotes, and great fun too!

 

Plenty of quotes from people of all nationalities, faiths, races and women. But ALL quotes are there ON MERIT ALONE. I vehemently oppose the patronising racism/sexism of race/gender quotas + only included quotes I feel are worthy of inclusion in my book.

 

Glad to get fellow Dartford boy Mick Jagger there on his birthday in July, and Freddie Mercury on his birthday 5th September.

 

Other pop stars include John Lydon, Annie Lennox, Keith Richards, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon also in there, reflecting my musical background, and film stars such as Charlie Chaplin there too. Women include Amy Johnson, Victoria Wood, Oprah Winfrey and many, many more. Loads of authors and poets in there too, and various politicians, historical figures and thinkers.

 

I dislike slushy, schmaltzy, spiritual motivational quote books and there are so many other there, so avoided such huggy-wuggy touchy-feely fluffy slushy quotes! Though there are some quotes by saints - St David on 1 March - and plenty by various philosophers from all of human history and around the world.

 

Some have quotes on the day they died such as Dylan Thomas, Prince Philip, Amy Johnson and many more. Some readers may notice the clever choice of quotes for significant dates; others will not. It does not matter - the book still works if they do not!

 

Anyway, enjoy your THINKING TIME!

 

I promise this will be a book of quotes you go back to time and again over the years, because the quotes are so diverse, witty, wise, fun and classic - and for every occasion.

MARCH 2020 - SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE, my Swansea Campus Novel.

 

I am proud to announce that my new campus novel SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE was published on 28th March 2020.

 

Set in an unnamed and fictional university town in South Wales, my tale has a great deal to say about the education system, woke snowflake censorship, New Puritan culture, gender politics, Brexit and Remain issues, the EU, the state of the nation. Available from bookshops (though they all closed on 24th March!) and the usual online sellers (though there may be a delay in lockdown).

 

The BEST place to buy it is direct from the publisher who can fulfil orders quickly at any time, lockdown or no: 

 

https://www.troubador.co.uk/bookshop/contemporary/somewhere-in-europe/ 

 

Somewhere in Europe is also available to buy direct from me - signed copy - for cover price + £3 postage, or from publisher website, or to buy or order from bookshops, or, if you must, Amazon (who snaffle 60% of cover price but at least stock books by smaller writers, unlike most bookstores). 

 

This novel has been called 'The Lucky Jim of now'. Or, as it says on the back cover, "It's like a cross between Catch-22 and Lucky Jim for the Brexit Generation". It is dark satire and laugh-out-loud funny at times too, but with some very moving scenes and characters too.

 

Worried about where education is going and how freedom of speech is under threat these days? Then this is the novel for you!

 

The novel predicts BLM and the taking down of statues and portraits of white men too - it has already happened in The Town in the story.

 

As of 2024, this novel is borrowed more from UK libraries than any other of my books, just loads of lends - which suggests it may be on a booklist or two at universities really. I love the way this novel triggers those people it lampoons too, those smug self-righteous types who claim they are 'progressive' all while yelling slogans to destroy Israel and all Jews on the streets of London. The lack of self-awareness is just stunning. Regressive, intolerant and illiberal is what these bigots are, yet always accuse others of racism - well, they need to be challenged (watch this space on that).

 

Any reviewer or media person wanting any further information can contact me via this website or the publishers. Many thanks.

MEANWHILE...

 

 

My Christmas poem SANTA GOES ON STRIKE was published on 30th September 2018, as a colour-illustrated paperback and ebook. (Repromoted for Christmas 2019 with WH Smith book store signings! Maybe in the run-up to Christmas 2020 too...)

 

It's a funny, heart-warming, meaningful poem picture book with WONDERFUL illustrations (based on my specifications) for both children and adults, and ideally is to be read aloud by families at Christmas. A fitting tribute to my late mum Marjorie who loved my poem and used to read it aloud to her friends at the many Christmas lunches she used to go to every year. It always went down a storm! (I now have it translated into French too, for media in France/Canada).

 

Paperback widely available online, but eBook not available on Amazon (they do not support fixed-file layout for some reason) so only available on Kobo or Apple or the online bookshop of the Cardiff publishers:

 

https://www.rowanvalebooks.com/book/santa-goes-on-strike

 

PERFECT for a Christmas present for both children and adults!

 

"A modern-day classic!"  "A real gem!" "delightful"

 

Please see the REVIEWS page (top menu) for all the wonderful reviews and feedback for SANTA GOES ON STRIKE - which includes some very famous people too! Thanks to them for their replies! Much appreciated. Odd that strangers show more interest than local media or bookshops here in Swansea, but I guess that explains why we didn't win CITY OF CULTURE for 2021. Well done Coventry - you deserve it.

 

I shall be promoting SANTA GOES ON STRIKE in the run-up to Chrismas 2019 due to popular demand and the wonderful reviews. Signings at branches of WH Smith, definitely - updates nearer the time. But probably Swansea, Llanelli, Carmarthen, maybe Cardiff, possibly even branches in England. Watch this space.

 

 

Out 31st August 2017, A CAT CALLED DOG 2 - THE ONE WITH THE KITTENS was finally published.

 

If in the UK, buy it here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cat-Called-Dog-One-Kittens/dp/1786293382/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1504178160&sr=8-7&keywords=Jem+Vanston

If in USA or outside UK, your own country's Amazon will be stocking it.

News

COMING SOON: my very timely psychological thriller about a deeply manipulative and deranged maniac psychowoman cyberstalker who obsessively targets and pursues a young male author with a prolonged, obsessive and malicious hate campaign motivated by bare twisted revenge - & all enabled and aided by corrupt, sexist, racist police. Fiction, yes, but inspired by my own lived experience - why it's all so raw and authentic.

 

Think MISERY meets BABY REINDEER meets BRIGHTON ROCK. Yes, really! Perfect for a TV or film adaptation too.

 

Toxic femininity and female violence (incl. the manipulative weaponising of lies via female rage online in the internet age) really needs highlighting in fiction, in these days of perpetual manblaming & boybashing, as does 'female violence', esp the weaponising of lies to get revenge against men which can, and does, push so many men to end their lives. I have done just that! The time is now & this novel is so timely, bang on-trend & original.

 

 

Watch this space in 2025/6 and beyond for publishing news! 

 

 

I am proud to announce that my 10th published book, The Nine Lives of Summer, my new crossover cat story for ALL ages, was published 1st March 2023 via Two Fat Cats Publishing - on the 10th anniversay of the publication of my much-loved cat novel A Cat Called Dog. Top reviews:

 

"A heart-warming tale with a life-affirming message." 

 

"Often funny, sometimes, sad, always hopeful."

 

This richly diverse crossover story for both kids AND adults is a life-affirming, hopeful read an exciting emotional rollercoaster which really does move & touch so many readers, makes them laugh and cry, or so they tell me in fanmail!

 

The story starts in Syria, where the war forces a family to flee, then travels to a dozen countries (Australia, India, Japan/China, Greenland, USA/Canada, Italy, Spain, Wales) through the nine lives of Summer, (and, logically, eight deaths), following the cat's adventures, joys and sorrows via a vast array of diverse cultures, settings and peoples. How anyone can claim it can traumatise readers and  promotes animal cruelty or racism is beyond me - some seriously disturbed people out there, projecting their problems onto my lovely storybook!

 

For review copies or interview requests, email acatcalleddog@hotmail.co.uk or contact via Twitter @9LivesofSummer or via this author website.

 

 

My debut collection of poetry THE LOVED ONES - A COLLECTION OF PANDEMIC POEMS ABOUT LOVE AND LOSS was published 9 April 2022. It comprises 54 poems; including 10 song lyrics with 9 online links to the demo recordings provided via links in the book. Two poems are in National Museum Covid Archives: POEM OF THE PLAGUE YEAR and TWENTY-TWENTY: A YEAR IN THE LIFE, which was featured on Swansea TV and was called 'poignant' by a representative of Her Majesty the Queen.

 

Available online worldwide, Amazon etc,  or in Harrisons, Uplands and Cover to Cover, Mumbles, or from me direct (most of my poem book sales happen that way). As owner of TWO FAT CATS publishing, I can see via wonderful digital data who has (& who has not) bought the ebook or read digital pages of it, when, and also where they are. Yup.

 

So, ignore the malicious revenge reviews on Goodreads and Amazon by a sad hateful reviewer who I can prove has not even read the book. The prolonged obsessive hate campaign aimed at me by a deeply deranged cyberstalker individual for over a year incl 10,000 words of abuse on MY book pages (4 of them) on Goodreads (who failed to remove the defamatory abuse, despite it breaking their own rules), Amazon (ditto)& Twitter has been insane, disturbing, and has caused me alarm and distress which WILL be paid for, I guarantee it.

 

On the plus side, this malicious unprovoked obsessive vengeful attack has inspired the female stalker novel HARMS I'm writing at the moment! The law and the media will expose this all in future, as defamation and hate campaigns of bullying, harassment and bare malicious revenge. Not on, and not legal. WATCH THIS SPACE. Justice is coming, folks!

 

"THINKING TIME - 365 Inspiring, Amusing and Thought-provoking quotes to get you through the year" (2021),  my diverse quote book, still sells a load on eBook every year, worldwide.  Intelligent Mindfulness, yes, but also with funny, insightful, INTELLIGENT quotes from individuals from throughout history up to the present day . To dip into, read through or use for mindfulness daily, or for education (no goo goo gaga fluffy slushy quote book this). An educated quote book a cut above most of the rest (I hate slushy psychobabble woowoo quote books). Still sells well worldwide in eBook format with no promotion from me at all.

 

On 28th March 2020 my satirical campus/Brexit novel was published - my 7th book. SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE ('Crump 2') is a real epic - funny, moving and timely. A state of the nation novel which has something to say. "A brilliant satire of wokery at UK universities and cancel culture", which predicts so much (riots etc). Called "A masterpiece" by Professor Eric Kaufman. Probably my best-written novel too. Unfortunately published in the same week as Pandemic Lockdown SO that scuppered that then - such is life! I am stoical about such things because the book EXISTS and will do for evermore as a novel of our times. LIFE now is imitating art - I deal with campus anti-Semitism and more in this novel. But together with its prequel CRUMP (2010) it is a classic campus novel all interested in the genre just have to read.

 

My satirical novels CORRECTLY predicted the RIOTS in the UK, 2011 and 2024, growing anti-Semitism and Islamist extremism too - life definitely apeing art. CRUMP (2010); RASMUS (2016, a reality TV novel); CRUMP 2 - SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE (2020) are a loose trilogy, a real STATE OF THE NATION triumph, as one reviewer stated. Read them and weep, and laugh, and cry, or be triggered into tamping like a boohoo baby if you want. LOL! Your choice.
