Simon, who works as a medical engineer, has had a lifelong passion for writing as well as sci-fi comedy.
Toxic Beer has been a decade in the making but, as readers and critics alike attest, has been worth the wait. Simon’s zany, joke-rich and earthy storytelling will appeal to anyone who loves the likes of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide, the writing of Robert Rankin, as well as classic British TV sci-fi comedy show Red Dwarf and cult sci-fi comedy film Galaxy Quest.
With his first, critically acclaimed novel having gone down better with readers than a cool pint on a scorching day, Simon is now working on a follow-up to Toxic Beer – a prequel revealing the bleary-eyed aliens’ escapades during their extended inter-galactic booze cruise.
A hoopy frood who always knows where his towel is, Simon also plays blues harp in the rising Dutch blues band, BluesShack.
Originally from the UK, Simon currently lives in Utrecht, Netherlands with his wife Chrissie and two cats. In his free time, he enjoys cooking and likes to brew homemade beer with more kick than an Acturian donkey.
