About this ebook
Only now, when the drink and the drugs have finally left my body, am I able to face the consequences of my actions. Only now, away from the city and the people that dragged me down, am I able to come to terms with what I have done.
My little retreat in the forest contains only practical items, stuff that I need to survive. However, I do have one luxury, a book.
That book is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and there is a poem in that book which made me realise that I actually have no one to blame but myself, and that, no matter what we like to think, we have no earthly way of knowing which direction we are going and that there is no knowing where we’re rowing or which way the river is flowing.

What to write here..... Well I am English, I am in my thirties, a child of the eighties, though I really grew up in the nineties. An inhaler of books from an early age, though my eyes were blinkered so that I only saw the main stream books and not the off piste works that I have come to love. European authors offer so much more, I quickly learned that books don't have to have starts and middles and ends and plots and twists and smoking guns and all that jazz. A good story, well written, is all a book needs. So that's what I try and do. I write what I enjoy, I do not conform to what the people want, what's the point in that? I have learnt that this world in which we live in, this authors world, is hard, unforgiving, and full of negativity. It is full of people telling you to change this and change that, to make it fit into this genre, or to that genre, and to write this type of book for these types of people. If, in the past, writers had undergone that type of scrutiny, then we wouldn't have the likes of Selby, Burroughs, Asimov, Palanuik, Steinbeck and many more. Anyway, that's my bio. Either read my stuff or don't. To me the joy comes from writing, not from reading peoples blinkered approach to what they think writing should be.
