about me

I am currently a music teacher but also an aspiring novelist.
I enjoy lots of different types of music and films. I live by the woods with my girlfriend and we often go for walks on the weekend.
I play drums, guitar and synths. I was in a band but are no longer. We released two EP's to some acclaim but to no commercial success in the slightest. We were experimental instrumental music I suppose. Gigging was always fun though.
I used to drink a lot but don't really now I guess...
I don't know if this is what you want!?

I'm currently reading Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72.

favourite books

Less Than Zero - Bret Easton Ellis
Basketball Diaries - Jim Carroll
From Joy Division to New Order - Mick Middles
In Cold Blood - Truman Capote
Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens
Heart Of Darkness - Joseph Conrad
Although I have enjoyed many more and listing 'favorites' seems a little silly!

In A Queue

Michael David

Follow Peter through his world of paranoia and overactive imagination, Isobel from middle class school girl to LA Pornstar and Martins depressive unwanted marriage.


The novel centers around three main characters who are only loosely linked to each other. They are all struggling to come to terms with being in their early twenties living in modern Britain, all be it in different ways. The novel addresses such modern day normalities as an unhappy young marriage brought on by an unexpected pregnancy, visiting and working in strip clubs, 'hoodie' youth culture and working in a call center, as well as dealing with obsession, lust, loneliness and hope.

Hi, below is my entry for the competition. I have tried to take inspiration from the theme and ideas of Moxyland without trying to imitate it. I hope that you enjoy it. “You are going to tell us who else is involved, how you did it, if anyone else knows about this and, most importantly, why you... view book

Keeping the agreement of a read swap. I don't really know what to write really, I'm not a critic and I don't feel in any position to 'comment' in such a way where my opinion is to be seen valid, as it isn't. Does this make sense? Is the comment for you or for others to read, to help them decide w... view book

Thank you for reading this and making your comments. Honestly, putting my book on authonomy was a little bit of a whim and didn't really review the work before adding it on, this is entirely my error and if I had I would have noticed the errors here and the spell check issues, (I have used severa... view book
