about me

Hi my name is Michael Dale I'm a thirty-year-old artist from London. I left school at fifteen as a consequence of addiction issues that thwarted any chance I had of publishing anything worth bragging about in my earlier life (though I certainly acquired some invaluable experience). Nearly five years sober, this is my first offering to the world of books.

Praise for Rude Awakening:
“Definitely not for the faint hearted!!……Hunter S. Thompson channels Ron Jeremy in this pornographic Odyssey of ballistic prose, assaulting the norms of fiction and blending amazing story telling with hilarious hard hitting ejaculations of literary originality! Mr Dale refreshes with an unapologetic tale of modern hedonistic/masochistic corporate cubicle love/hate reverse fairy tale adventure interspersed with astute psychological observation….my read of the year!”

Warning: this book is pure poison. Laugh yourself sick! www.bookblurb.co.za


TODAY, is like any other mind-numbingly boring, soul-destroying day at the office. That is except for Pamela Hoare, Charlie Cockburn and that weird junior accountant no-one has noticed before.
TODAY, slutty secretary, Pamela Hoare, is about to put the finishing touches to her plan to blackmail her sexually repressed boss, Mr Rupen Patel, and make him her bitch.
TODAY, Charlie Cockburn, coked-up, hung-over and horny as hell realizes just how close he is to losing his job and decides to tell Mr Patel to stick it up his arse.
AND THEN there is that junior accountant - just so you know, his name is Lucas Swink - today, he will blow up a window and leap out the office block in attempt to awaken the masses.
Hoare, Cockburn and Swink are just some of the fucked-up, desperate souls you'll follow in this breakthrough novel that takes an unflinching look at London's cubicle driven society. Let Rude Awakening scratch away the shit-stained window of your perceptions and show you that everyone, from high-rolling businessmen to desperate barmaids, wants something more but doesn't know how to get it.
WILL SWINK BE THE ONE TO SHOW THEM HOW?

Hi This is weird enough to keep me going, I like the quiet desperation of the invisible girls. There's some really nice imaginative descriptions I love the phantom shadows on the ceiling that aren't really there, sets the scene beautifully an auburn halo of rambunctious curls: nice!
