Welcome. You have somehow managed to stumble upon the website of Mick Jackson. As you can tell from the author portrait (to the right) he is a fine specimen of humanity. He is also the author of two novels, a collection of rather dark little stories and a few other odds and ends.

Anyway, now that you're here, why not relax, kick your shoes off and stay a while...

Stop Press
