You can’t make this shit up. Or did you? I also used to hang out in Edenvale as a kid but lived in Hillbrow. Your writing lifts my week.

Thanks, Cliff, for the positive feedback. It can feel like a vacuum at times. It took me a while to realise that I’d had a fairly unique childhood. As you can see from the stories, it was mostly about the interesting characters who passed through my life and what they got up to. I write from the perspective that comedy is tragedy plus time. Names and sometimes places have changed to protect the innocent, me.
