about me

I'm 29, 6ft 4, chiselled and swarthy, and like to be dragged around rooms on a lead by a woman dressed as Barbara Cartland. It goes without saying that the lead should be attached to my....oh, sorry, wrong site!

I'm a 45-year-old piano teacher and special needs music therapist (children with Aspergers Syndrome), and I DON'T like to be dragged around rooms by Barbara Cartland impersonators. I'm from Bath, Somerset, England.

'WILBERFORCE & GRACE' has recently undergone a thorough tinkering following a professional edit. Barring the final chapter, the complete novel has now been uploaded post-edit.

Huge thanks to the annoyingly talented Bradley Wind for creating the splendid cover.

I enjoy performing at the piano (ooer), and below is a link to my playing for anyone who's interested.

Wilberforce & Grace

Peter Turner

Misdeeds and mishaps aplenty as polar opposite siblings plough farcical furrows.


To compare Wilberforce to Grace is to liken gooseberry preserve to sulphuric acid.

Wilberforce Windcheater seems a hopeless case. A keen subscriber to obsessive-compulsive disorder, his idea of a good time includes verifying the accuracy of the TV Test Card and studying the joys of railway level-crossings.

Grace possesses caustic wit, intelligence, and an ability to render any man a helpless pool of regretful gunge. A liaison with her is marginally more advisable than aggravating a blue-ringed octopus.

The world of the Windcheaters turns upside down when the family move next door to the swarthy Leonard Loveland. He and his wife are destined to remain childless, and surrogate kids in the guise of brother and sister golden retrievers - Keith and Judith, won't suffice.

Peripheral comic characters such as boss-eyed spinster, Valeria Worlechort; the haemorrhoid battling Bradley Bland; and biology professor turned evangelical fundamentalist loony, Barnstaple Spreadage – take the story into episodic silliness.

You are cordially invited to take a ride through five decades of farce with Wilberforce & Grace.

 

The Headmaster And The Hockey ....

Peter Turner

From saucy erotica to futuristic musings, come along and take a peek at these diverse short stories.


Here are a motley collection of odds-and-sods short stories. The first story, "The Teacher and the Hockey Starlet" is a venture into erotic writing, and those of a delicate disposition toward wanton sauce should look away now...

Firstly, congratulations for some very clever and witty spam; a unique phenomenon in my 16 months on authonomy. You're a witty chap, Jorgan. I read your first chapter and it's genuinely silly and childish, so hats off. In my book, those two traits are essential for comedy, and you've done that t... view book

Simon, this is fascinating and original stuff. You've created an eerie atmosphere surrounding Luke's solitary existence; and the narrative is suitably claustrophobic. I felt a certain sympathy with his way of life, but you did this without forcing it, so well done. I did find one or two grammati... view book

Elspeth, Your writing is impressive; both from a technical and creative viewpoint. The first chapter moved very quickly, and you composed it very well. From the first paragraph, where you summed up the visual scene succinctly, to the excellent hook at the end of the chapter - and all points in be... view book

Skin Deep: An intriguing and touching story where I felt a lot of sympathy for both characters. I liked the 'hint' of a positive ending to this tale; two people facing very difficult times for different reasons, and hopefully both giving each other some solace. What you did especially well was to... view book

Morning Clare/Annabel, Your descriptiveness is excellent, and you have a flair for comic timing. The only reservation I have is the sheer length of some of the diary entries (I've never seen diaries of such magnitude in WHSmith)! If it's an internet diary, perhaps that changes things a little.
