  • Donald Trump & the Greater German Reich

    Donald Trump & the Greater German Reich

    If you’ve read part four of my alternative history series “The Greater German Reich”, you will know that Donald Trump made an appearance towards the very end. I was accused of flinging him into the book as a cheap gimmick, and you know what, maybe I did. I figured that around 2000, in my timeline,… Read more

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder, and whilst I’m not a huge fan of labels, having those diagnoses has enabled me to get treatment.… Read more

  • UK and Britain – What it is and isn’t.

    I’m going to begin by saying that I live in the UK. I was born in the UK, and I’m not that well-travelled, having visited the US, France, Belgium and Ireland. But I wanted to provide some patronizing education about the UK. About what it is, and what it isn’t. We are pretty much unique… Read more
