Thanks for stopping by and checking out my books. Here you’ll find all the books I’ve written, or are planning to write. There is always some inspiration that makes me want to write some helpful nonfiction, some odd fiction, or out-there experimental work; which falls between the two chairs of fact and fiction. But never a dull moment, as they say.

Self Help to Help You Read More Self Help
100% Guaranteed to Make You Want to Read Another Self Help Book
Your go-to guide to help you read more self help books, because believe me when I say it will be no help at all. Presented as 200 excellently-useless pieces of advice, that it can be quickly consumed and forgotten about. No putting into practice needed.
This book:
- Will not set you free (especially if you’re reading it from prison).
- Will not remove any of your disappointing chakras.
- Will not fix your broken spirit level.
- Will not make you any better looking.
- Will not help you locate any of the bad sectors present in your hypothalamus.
- Will not re-tune your internal frequency to 528Hz.
- Will not re-align your stereo field.
- Will not help on your soul crushing journey of self discovery.
- Or change your life, one iota.
But what it should do is give you a laugh for half an hour and brighten your day, which doesn’t really sound like much help at all — but do you want to be cheered up for half an hour or not? I thought so.
