Sometimes you just need a break. Relax. Chill out. Take it easy. Get away from it all. The madness. The world. Your partner. Just because Norman is the lead scientist on a project on the verge of creating the first ever human-level AI there's no reason to feel nervous. Sure, other scientists are dying under suspicious circumstances but that's no reason for paranoia, no reason to think that people are following him.

Sometimes you just need a break. Relax. Chill out. Take it easy. Get away from it all. The madness. The world. Your partner. Just because Norman is the lead scientist on a project on the verge of creating the first ever human-level AI there's no reason to feel nervous. Sure, other scientists are dying under suspicious circumstances but that's no reason for paranoia, no reason to think that people are following him. Sure, the people who are funding the project want results. And soon. But Norman has the new head of security right? Even if Akinfeev is suspect, his staff scary and the project may just have hit a snag. And just because his partner Jamie sits seething in the dark waiting for him to get home from another long day at work, Norman's got nothing to worry about. Chill, take it easy. Norman just shouldn't go into carparks late at night ... Ted Zorgon calls Sometimes You Just Need a Break an "unpredictable, surreal novel -- shape-shifting between literary modes from science fiction to stream of consciousness - exploring space and the spaces between us." Rebecca de Boudewijn labels SYJNAB an "enigmatic tale of (in no particular order) love, artificial intelligence, gods, giant chickens and rock stars [that] will leave you scratching your head in wonder and yearning for your own trip through a labyrinth filled with emotions and revelations." While Lesley Halm says that it is "an immersive, glorious and slippery sci-fi romp that could only have slithered from the wise and devious brainchild of Verhoeven, Cronenberg, Frank Herbert and Douglas Adams. If you can imagine it. Which you can't. So you'll just have to read it, won't you? Probably twice."

Autorenporträt
We wish to give thanks to my friend Jeanette for the inspiration for our nom de plume who, in 2006, called me the black wiggle because of my penchant for wearing black, long-sleeved t-shirts to work. I countered, "I'm not the black wiggle, je suis le wiggle noir, merci."
