"Time After Time" is my third published novel. I also have two anthologies of flash fiction. All are available on Amazon kindle.
"AB&E"
A gangster's moll is on the run from her murderous husband who she betrayed between the sheets.. She's left everything behind with her old identity back in Britain and now sings for her supper by holding court in bars at a Club 18-30 holiday resort by day and luring prey to take her back to a hotel room by night. Back in Britain, an NHS nurse is under siege from her own abusive patients. She resolves to treat not just their ailing bodies, but their afflicted souls. Two avenging angels, one incendiary convergence.
Gangster
threatiquette, "Ibiza Uncovered", Cilla's "Blind Date" as
held in a police line up, Greek myths, Oxbridge High Table and nightclub foam
parties. A guided tour into the contemporary British soul, this scurrilous and
scabrous book not only peels away the sunburnt skin of our hens, stags, booze
cruisers and sex tourists, but delights in jabbing fingers into the pus below.
Wish you were anywhere but here?
Semtex
semiotics, internet grooming, ID theft by the most unreliable of narrators, he
who willfully misleads. Is that a wailing siren, or bomb-blast tinnitus
inundating your hearing?
An
online activist who submerges his identity within the Net, stealing those of
others as well as their souls. Grooming not for desire, but for death.
Cyberspace is where the real politics is being fought out, in far more vicious
and unconstrained talking shops than any legislature. In an anonymous realm,
who exactly can be said to be acting in whose name?
The
novel explores the limits of political opposition within a democracy. What
actions remain when marches, petitions, lapel ribbons, all fail to move the
Executive? It traces the explosive transformative process behind the ultimate
form of resistance, a home-grown suicide bomber. What are the divergent pulls
on identity, of growing up British, Asian and Muslim, that in extreme cases can
lead to 7/7?
The
novel is a trenchant sweep across Britain in the 21st century. Full of the
anxieties of eyeing up fellow commuters on the London Underground, crucifixes
and hijabs in the workplace, aspirational lifestyles, adventure tourism, green
issues, Big Brother (Orwellian), Big Brother (Endemolian), radioactive
assassinations and the Arctic Monkeys. Refracted through people's opinions
expressed on forums and blogs.
