A compulsive liar, fantasist and bullshitter, living in a four mile radius of his mums house, whizzing off at tangents, one tall tale blending seamlessly into the next lie, no recollection....
Author
Mike Willis is a British writer with a sharp eye for humor, absurdity, and the fragile truths hidden in everyday life. His debut trilogy, Simon Island, follows the misadventures of a compulsive fantasist whose tall tales blur the line between reality and invention. Written in a vivid, colloquial style, the series captures the rhythms of small-village life, mixing laugh-out-loud comedy with moments of startling emotional honesty A storyteller at heart, Mike brings to the page a voice that is both local and universal: the pub chatter, neighborhood gossip, and exaggerated boasts of ordinary people trying to make themselves extraordinary. His work has been compared to A Confederacy of Dunces and The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, blending satire with a surprising depth of character. Mike’s writing reflects his own appreciation for life’s quirks and contradictions. Rooted in his experiences of English working-class communities, he turns everyday conversations into theatrical performances, exposing both the hilarity and the poignancy of human imagination. When he isn’t writing, Mike continues to develop stories with a cinematic edge, believing that characters like Simon belong as much on the screen as they do on the page. His work stands as a tribute to the power of voice, comedy, and the resilience of the human spirit.
