about me

I'm a 27 year old fiction and poetry writer from Bath, UK. I have won a Royal Television Society Regional Award for my writing on the 5 x 5 miniseries "Liquid Soap" and have been published in the Neon Highway and erbacce poetry journals, as well as spending two years as a staff writer for www.roadburn.com under my pen name Dave E Destruction.

I love writing, it is what I live for. Now I seek to make a living from my art :)

No Excuse Bruce - The Spark of....

David Sealey

Action-packed sci-fi/noir set in an alternate England where artificial emotion is unleashed and electricity and life are one. Bristol will never be the same again...


Bruce von Toose, a private detective with a prosthetic arm, is working the case of the murdered UK grime scene superstar Mastah Blastah. As he follows the bloody trail, he is left with more questions than answers.

Why can't he remember where he lives, or who his client is? And just who, exactly, is John Johnson?

EBM have invented and mass-produced the eMotion microchip, a device that allows machines to think. The chip awakens their dormant instincts, and the enlightened machines begin to break out of bondage to their human masters.

Bruce takes his investigations to the limit of the law, and sanity, and then leaps over the edge, laughing, as Bristol falls apart around him. After the rise of the machines, will the world ever be the same again? And can there ever be redemption for his darkest deeds, or is there simply no excuse?

YARG Review: Hey Ben, I didn't forget you fellow Bath neighbourhoodite! Hehe. I just wanted to be able to give your work the time it deserves. Overall, your narrative voice is very strong (it's you!) and your characters are vivid and lively, as they should be, being alive and all :) Chris come... view book

Gerry, Gerry Gerry Gerry, "Loser" is amazing! You remind me of a more muscular Robert Rankin by way of Elmore Leonard. I love your noirish overture and sci-fi parodying undertones, in some ways this even reminds me of my own book "No Excuse Bruce." It is exactly the kind of story I want to rea... view book

Wow, what just happened! I popped on here for a couple of minutes, thought I should check "Mr Unusually" out and ended up reading the first ten chapters straight up! I'm just going to say a couple things while I remember them and then read on :) First off, your premise is excellent, but it is in ... view book

Wow, thank you Terry, high praise indeed! I'm really glad you're enjoying it more this time around, I made those changes to make it flow better from the beginning :) I'm taking on board your comments on errant apostrophes and the dialogue, I think it could do with a final simplification, som... view book

Hey Roy, just reread the first chapter of "Bad Men" so I can give you a little feedback, more to come. First off, I applaud your choice of perspective, first person is tough to master and you have done it justice. The depth of your descriptive writing is also great, although sometimes I feel like... view book
