When asked if it was comparable to EL James’ Fifty Shades of Grey series, he said:
This book is more Tolstoy than EL James. First of all it’s well written – it has full stops, commas, and paragraphs.
Fifty Shades appeals to all the secret longings of middle aged housewives. [My book] will cater to the middle-aged men who have said, “Oh shoot, this is all the stuff I missed out on on Leeson Street.”
On The Right Hook yesterday, the broadcaster said the plot of his erotic novel involved a young Polish girl who was “despoiled” by four German soldiers during WWII. Grim.

According to the Irish Independent, he wrote ten chapters of a chick-lit book back in 2007, for the RTÉ show Arts Lives.
The book, called Slav For Love, chronicled the adventures of a ‘Polish blonde’ (we’re sensing a theme here) who moved to Dublin to be a novelist. Somehow, she ends up “brain-damaged, beaten up and shipped to the Middle East”. Grim.
He described his heroine thus:
Having screwed her way across Ireland, the heroine finds her redemption with Mr Right. She’s gorgeous, she’s clever, tough as nails, with a wonderful chest. She’s the kind of woman I’ve always wanted to fall in love with.
This leading lady has distinct similarities to Hooky’s longtime crush, Pamela Anderson, no?
