about me

Hi, I'm Bobby

I'm currently studying for a BA honours in English Language and Literature and a Diploma in Creative Writing with the Open University. This currently takes priority over a lot of things so I apologise if at times I might take a while to reply.

I have always written, but it's taken me up until now to finish something. I get too many ideas.

I am happy to say that I am as far away from normal as I feel I can possibly be without getting a rash. I am rather allergic to normality you see. I can split my life in two, one part I tried to be normal, the second I tried as hard as possible not to be normal. I'm much happier being the deranged bipolar freak and outcast that I'm so intent on becoming.
You never get anywhere by being just like everyone else.

While I love everyone adding my novel to watch lists and bookshelves, I also really appreciate constructive comments, so if you get a chance those would go down really well.

For those who wish to contact me, including fellow authonomists: mynewdelirium@hotmail.co.uk
I am always out to make contacts and discuss ideas with fellow creatives.

'Dented Sensation' is complete - although in a process of editing - at 53,574 words.

Dented Sensation

Bobby Newlyn-Jones

Not to be who you think you are requires you to have some idea of who you were in the first place.


Olivia, a girl of unspecified age, finds herself deserted on an island with no memory, and no idea of who she is (which may well explain the unspecified age thing.)

Aided by some bloke who believes himself to be the king of the pirates and a hobgoblin with a penchant for shiny things (or a thing for shiny pendants) and other similar freaks, Olivia embarks on a quest to discover herself, but she is soon to discover that the island is not all that it seems.

The night time harbours surreal dangers, her answers may lie with an evil vampire lord, and to top things off, there is a reoccurring smell of cheese that cannot be explained.

Ultimately Dented Sensation is a story about the imagination, told with a quirky narrative voice that carries an odd sense of humour.


** Dented Sensation is currently going through a big edit before I start looking at submitting it to agencies, so please bear with me while I iron out any quirks that aren't supposed to be there. **

'Dented Sensation' is complete - although in a process of editing - at 53,574 words.

True to life and engaging. Your character is so believable I had to keep checking back to see if you had actually uploaded your own diary on here! Something about your writing is honest and down to earth, while at the same time wild and incredibly imaginative. This is definitely dynamic and would n... view book

There's a tremendous feeling of honesty here, and having worked in retail myself (and now struggling to get out of it) I really feel I can relate to a lot of things your character/narrator says. Your first paragraph really grabbed me as the sort of thing a lot of people in retail think, and long to ... view book

Fantasy at it's best. You have some of the best elements here without being cheap or cliché about it. You certainly have a strong imagination, and your writing, pitch, and especially your characters don't let you down. Backed Bobby Dented Sensation view book

I skipped a chunk as you advised and read chapters ten and eleven. In terms of editing it's just a few minor points really. In chapter ten you could use a comma after 'His ring caught the bed covers,' you say 'snatched the ring off his had' when it should be 'hand' and I believe 'Some where' is one ... view book

This is a fantastic idea and your writing sure as well doesn't disappoint. I can see this going down really well in the young adult market and being a popular read at school, especially amongst the early-mid teens. The next Harry Potter but with ghosts replacing witches and wizards? Quite possibly! ... view book
