J. ARCHER AVARY is a former TV weatherman and champion lionfish hunter. He was born in the USA, became a household name in the Cayman Islands, and now lives in the Northeast of England where he's a ferryboat captain.
He's a Pushcart Prize nominated writer whose short fiction and poetry have appeared in more than 100 literary magazines.
His new collection 🌵PRICK🌵 offers polaroid snapshots of misdirected teenage angst, reluctance to conform with social norms, and the soul-sapping malaise of adulthood. These seventeen stories are hilarious and cringeworthy in equal measure.
