About Me

  • Born in Yokohama, Japan, at the age of 12 months my family moved lock, stock and barrel to Dublin, Ireland where my father was one of the original 6 Karate Masters to bring Wado-Ryu Karate to Europe in the late 1960's. Eventually settling in Birmingham, England at the age of 6 and spending my formative years there, I am more 'Brummie' (the term used to describe someone from the Birmingham area of the United Kingdom) than Japanese in every sense, particularly in my outlook on life and sense of humour.

  • How to sell your wife - Tips for partners of authors

    November 22, 2009

    • If this is the first time you’ve read my blogs, it may shock you to know that for over a year now I’ve been doing almost everything I can do to sell my wife. Today, I’m hoping that my blog will encourage you to sell your loved one too, as long as he or she is an author. Now, before you run to a phone to tell the authorities to let them know you’ve discovered a mad slave trader who ...

  • A place to 'be'

    November 20, 2009

    • I’ve found it surprising to realise how ‘noisy’ and chaotic most of my life has been. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, however it’s been interesting for me to look back at my life and see that even as a child I always sought ways to find a place just to ‘be’, no distractions, no chaos; just me, my thoughts and I. From around the age of nine or ten I used to spend a fair amount ...

  • Have I told you that I'm married to a genius?

    November 11, 2009

    • Last week I proudly showed Gina’s books that are on display in the window of Waterstones, Weston-super-Mare, to two bewildered security officers. They were bewildered because their reason for being there was to apprehend me in a shopping centre for taking unauthorised photos within the mall area. Although I had been busy with my camera and tripod, their stealth and skill in executing a covert ...

  • Coffee coloured conversations

    October 7, 2009

    • A particularly happy day today. Gina is an intensely focused writer, often working from the moment she wakes up until 4 or 5 in the morning. As anyone who follows my blogs knows, I am very proud of her and certainly do not begrudge her working practices.  It’s always been my opinion that any creative person should never be interrupted when they are in the zone, as I call it, even if it means ...

Comments I've Written

  • Selling myself

    Amongst the many search terms on Google that somehow manage to bring Gina's web site up as a result, one of the most bizarre is "Weston brothel".

  • Haaa!

    I read your response and nearly spilt coke all over my laptop. Do you think he'll spot it? Hehe.

  • Hi Ruth

    That is an incredible compliment, especially coming from you. It's very much appreciated. At this point in my working life it would be difficult to do it though.

  • Glad to hear it

    Glad to hear you are getting better already. Something to make you smile, Gina's term of endearment for me today has been 'Muppet'. Mind you, that's a common favourite. Have a lovely evening/night.

  • Hi Anne

    Glad you feel better but hope you will be out of the period pain zone completely very soon. You know, I never thought about the army helping out with bridge.
