My True Love, the Baker
I never thought that I would fall in love with the baker. People said I was only with him for his bread. So I burned his shop down, knowing I would still love him, and that in doing so I could prove my love to the doubters. I stood there alongside him, watching his bakeryContinueContinue reading “My True Love, the Baker”
The inspiration behind: The Shame of John Slade
Following a recently published post in which I collaged some of the people and things that inspired my book The Reputation of Booya Carthy, I enjoyed it so much that I’ve done it again for my second book, The Shame of John Slade. In this image are some of the musicians, books, people, films andContinueContinue reading “The inspiration behind: The Shame of John Slade”

The inspiration behind: the Booya book
In this image are some of the musicians, books, films and people that helped to inspire my book The Reputation of Booya Carthy to a greater or lesser degree. For example, Oliver Twist (the musical film) lent a visual image of a descriptive passing view of Honahee, the fictional town where the book is set.ContinueContinue reading “The inspiration behind: the Booya book”
How are you?
Dear friend, It’s been 1,488 days since my last post. Which is too long, really. In that time, I have published a new book and republished another one, but neglected to even talk about either event here – I’m not really sure how. (Time flies? Nah. It’s probably more likely to be distraction.) For aContinueContinue reading “How are you?”
