about me

I live in the Caribbean right now and have for the past five years. Originally I am from Britain.
I got the writing bug last year and haven't been able to stop.
It just pours out of me! I love it! I just want to reach people and share my stories with them in order to, in some small way, hopefully enrich their lives.
There are good and bad things in this world that need a light shone on them so we can re-evaluate our roles in it.
Whatever I write I always strive to have a deep meaning behind.
THANKS to everybody who checks out my books, more are coming very soon!!: )
I will return all reads and comments in time.

CONVERGENCE IS NOW FULLY UPLOADED AND MOSTLY EDITED SO HAVE A READ AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK.


Would love to find a publisher, it's not so much about the money for the books it's more about getting my messages across a wide audience.

Convergence

David J Pickering

Now an adult a former child abuse victim seeks his blood thirsty revenge.
A dark and disturbing tale of a shattered psyche! CONTAINS STRONG CONTENT!


When a young abused boy escaped twentyfour years ago it heralded a maelstrom of trouble for four seemingly unconnected people.

It's Olivia Corneal's first real date, which makes this shy retiring librarian a bit of an oddity in her mid thirties.
Can she overcome the haunting visions that plague her and not scare off the only man she has ever cared for?

Brandon Nariz is pretentious, anal, narcissistic and the owner of New York's most fashionable restaurant! Unfortunately for Brandon his mind is gradually crumbling on itself thanks to the unseen mental manipulation of a man only known as the Governor.

Everybody hates Eustacious Chamberlain because he works independently for the IRS. Coupled with the fact that, due to a hearing problem, Eustacious shouts at everybody makes for a very lonely man. Can he find a friend in his enigmatic and very wealthy neighbor? Even during these auditory hallucinations.

Dax Heart is handsome, charismatic and plays by his own rules! An intelligent gypsy who feels nothing for anybody. So why does he keep emotionally breaking down?

As four converge thanks to the manipulative Governor a twisted underground snuff ring is threatened with exposure.

 

The Civil Unrest

David J Pickering

Two stories exploring the different aspects of social torment and dislocation as these two men try to interpret the philosophical points of existence.


In the first part of this exploratory book one man is driven to extremes as he takes in and interprets the environment he is raised in. Influences such as mass media, war and a socially disinterested population push this sensitive boy to find his way through life a bit differently than most other people who play it safe.
The book resonates a deep philosophical question that has to be addressed in this day and age more so than ever. Where are we,as a populous, heading and are we teaching our children the right lessons.

The second part of this book, while still dealing with social dislocation albeit from a different standpoint, focuses on a man who has turned his back on society and seeks acceptance from that one thing that we all were born from. Water.
Can he find solace and peace in the powerful embrace of the ocean?
The Civil unrest is a think piece. One that should make you question.
PRAISE
"The Civil Unrest reads like a deep philosophical work in classical literature. "
"Thought provoking and emotionally deep."
Read it and make up your own mind.
