The Willies
The Willies

Hugh and Simon weren’t exactly made for each other, more like… manufactured.

Hugh Willard and Simon Williams couldn’t be less alike. They’ve been friends since childhood, but five years ago their differences led to a fight and they haven’t spoken since. But Hugh has discovered that he and Simon might be clones. Worse, they were never meant to be born, and someone wants them dead.

Set in the near future, The Willies tells the story of two people coming to grips with their relationship and identities while on the run. This takes place against a backdrop of bizarre events that poke fun at the current debate over bioengineering — starting with a panda blowing up and finishing with a showdown that threatens human life itself.

The "pulp novel" style paper I use in my paperbacks is actually made from "de-inked low-grade post-consumer waste material, which is generally in low demand and hence more likely to be consigned to landfill. Manufactured at the Steinbeis mill in Germany, this 80gsm paper passes the Blauer Engel/Blue Angel certification". It even comes with Greenpeace's stamp of approval.
