About us
Dominic Hilton thinks Nero Wolfe was on to something when he said, "Nothing corrupts a man so deeply as writing a book." Dominic loves baseball, has a phobia of the theatre and theatregoers, and secretly longs to get far from the madding crowd. Dominic used to be in a promising band named 'The Women of the Ghetto' but was cruelly voted out by his treachorous bandmates before he even had the chance to learn an instrument.
ASH Smyth is a freelance journalist who divides his time evenly between construction work and singing at the Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace. Disillusioned with the genocidal warzones of Kent, he will soon be found busking for dollar on the streets of Colombo. "We're all in the gutter," he says, "but some of us are looking for change."
Before turning their attention to the Amnesiac Review, Adam and Dominic edited The Lizard magazine. Following a violent disagreement about the proper dimensions of a mullet, they are no longer on speaking terms.
