Me and The Monkey - Darby, Andy

. .

Résumé :
Well there's this talking monkey who won me in a game of Othello in a coffee shop in Amsterdam. He came back to Cornwall with me and has become a prolific reader and dabbler in magic. He also has past life flash backs - the most prominent of which are the Nam special forces ones. We have partially deceased girlfriends who apparently eat dead bodies. The Monkey created a sort of black hole in the spare bedroom and now we have a team of nerds investigating it and trying to stop 'things' coming out of it. A bunch of Oriental hit men who appear to believe he is a god attempted to steal The Monkey's magic lolly pop sticks, but he managed to blow them up in their caravan. We are off to Cambodia in search of a temple from which came a monkey faced pendant with glowing eyes and we seem to have upset an international cabal who are out to get us. Oh, and did I mention that The Monkey likes a cigar and we regularly get very drunk on Jack Daniels... Interested? Perplexed? Worried? Come on in and join the fun. Written in the form of blog entries this is our story so far...

Biographie:
I am a lifelong fantasy/sword & sorcery / weird tales fan, and I also have a bit of an obsession with historical fiction. I started writing around ten years ago as an experiment in having the discipline to write something every day during a period when I was travelling extensively for work. I wrote on my phone and iPad during train journeys, flights, backstage at events, 2 am in hotel rooms, and even during stops at motorway service stations. The result was my first novel, ME AND THE MONKEY: CHRONICLES OF THE MONKEY GOD VOL 1. I have since written VOL 2 and a novella, THE PADDINGTON INCIDENT. I have studied shamanism and the Western occult tradition and trained in and taught martial arts. I am also a motion graphics artist and designer, and I live in Cornwall in the UK with my wife, daughter, three cats and two ponies....
