Al's life has gone to the dogs. Memory blanks, nightmares, and a disturbing new appetite for small, furry animals. Not to mention his reclusive, nocturnally gothic frat brothers who never seem to attend lectures, and his deliciously-scented girlfriend and her pals.
Standing at the lamppost of the crossroads of his life, everything that is odd in Al's life comes together to unmuzzle his true, inner self and reveal who his true friends really are.
Joel lives with his wife and family in New Plymouth, New Zealand. After completing two science degrees in the eighties, Joel worked (variously) as an analytical chemist, bartender, journalist, violin teacher, and as a chemical plant supervisor before training as a high school teacher, his current profession. When he is not teaching or writing, Joel spends his time with his family on the local surf beaches and walking on the neighbourhood volcano. "Jigsaw" is his first novel with Mundania Press.
