Author Bio:
Hello, I am Vasily Pugh and thank you for reading this short piece. My first book was the oddly prescient ‘Basically Frightened’ – a darkly comic pandemic thriller. This book was followed by acclaimed comic thriller ‘The Insomniacs’ Club’ which successfully transferred to Ulaanbataar as an award winning kabuki show.’Outside Looking Out, the even better sequel to ‘Basically Frightened’ was the next book. Upcoming book ‘Gusto’ is out by the end of the summer. Strong female characters, tightly-wound tension, ambiguity – I can almost taste the international recognition and appreciation. I do have a tendency to use ‘passive voice’ in my work which puts me in league with some of the great war criminals according to the Grammar Coalition. But hey, maybe we can live in a crazy world where active and passive can co-exist, weaving daisy chains and dancing. Please leave a review especially if it is pleasant. Amazon likes to purge the good reviews for alleged bias, meaning my average rating oscillates wildly. Not very helpful for an independent author so your support is appreciated.Contact me at vasilyperegrinepugh@gmx.com if you feel so inclined.”Vasily Pugh is almost certainly vertical.” Noam Chomsky
