Real Life is Elsewhere
"For I saw in you the mongrel angel that saw in me the same " Following a bereavement, Mark, a disillusioned middle-aged writer seeking something like enlightenment (or an epiphany, he’s not sure), travels to Charleville in Northern France to visit the hometown of his hero, the poet Rimbaud. As he wanders Mark muses on the nature of obsession and how our heroes might be no more than projections of our deepest needs and fears. He also focuses on a famous line of Rimbaud’s – “je est un autre”. “I is another”. When he meets a local woman there is an instant connection and their conversation continues as they traverse the streets together over 24 hours. But something strange is happening. Immediately Anne knows his story and the events of his life. She knows his mind. Has he found his autre? We follow them as Mark narrates in his head the book he will never write, with interjections from characters brought to life by his imagination … and often against his will Real Life is Elsewhere is an entirely original, unique take on love, ageing and the process of writing.
A Difficult Age
The nostalgia of idealism is the worst kind of idealism - and the worst kind of nostalgia! Mr. Puck Huntley, however, would beg to differ. Recently suspended from his post as a Media Studies teacher and on the fortieth anniversary of the events of May 1968, he decides to take matters (and the law) into his own hands. For Mr. Puck Huntley is not your average Media Studies teacher. At 57, he is the product of a very different generation and nowadays finds himself permanently out of step with both his pupils and his head teacher. Notoriously unorthodox in his teaching methods he now brings that same unorthodoxy into play as he struggles to make his voice heard. A Difficult Age is a stylish, original, funny and often moving story of a man struggling to hold on to the ideals of his generation in vastly different times. Like Puck, those that came of age in 60s were right about one thing - the times, they did change. Sadly for some, they just kept on changing...
The Guttersnipe Journals
I am not homeless- I'm just someone who can't go home With these words, the young man known as Guttersnipe begins his account of two years spent living on the streets of Canterbury. Amongst the struggles he must face every day there is one that he never anticipated; that of boredom and how to occupy his time. Acting on a friend's advice on how to combat this problem, he begins to write his thoughts down each day. He records his observations, his ideas, his memories and his own life story. It is these writings that form the basis of The Guttersnipe Journals. Guttersnipe's story does not simply focus on the hardships that keep him apart from society - but rather he finds the common threads of human experience that bond us all together. It is a story that everyone should read.

Roll 'em Mr Bones
Martin Bonehouse sits in his hotel room in New Orleans writing a book about the city. This book will be a welcome departure from his shocking fiction debut, the far-reaching consequences of which have had a hand in his exile and estrangement from his family in England. In fact, the controversy of the misunderstood subject matter has all but destroyed his life. However his writing focus is soon hijacked by the legend of Tambo Bones.
Every Other Inch a Gentleman
It's a blazing hot August Bank Holiday in 1978. The seaside resort of Margate, at the fag end of the season, is out on parade in all its tacky glory and in 12 hours time Moe Seyton - a has-been adult comedian once revered as the 'Naughtiest Mouth in the South' - will be on stage.
