Now in his early fifties, Mick Farren currently lives in Los Angeles. With some twenty books to his credit, plus a number of film and TV scripts, and wealth of journalism, his written output remains prodigious. He also still records and performs, and a recent tour of Japan with his band, The Deviants, culminated in the live CD Barbarian Princes. His most recent novel, Jim Morrison's Adventures in the Afterlife, has just been published in the US.
