About Me

My photo
Self-published author with 3 books out there dealing with the darker side of life through poetry, short stories, observations and sketches. 'Love or Suicide and the Life In-between', 'this heat, it's hell closing in on me' and 'Words to be performed from under a table by the last of us'. Can't live without music (heavy metal and soundtrack's especially), film buff (sci-fi floats my boat), anime watcher (old school mainly), book reader (anything that captures my interest), gamer (PS4/Xbox-One), gym pumper and all round geek.

3 weeks...

...it's coming up to 3 weeks now since my first self published book, 'Love or Suicide and the Life in-between' has been on sale and I am happy to say any feedback I have had has been very positive.  I am gradually promoting it on Twitter, through my Blog and by word of mouth but am planning to step up the promotion throughout August.  My thoughts are to have it sell consistently instead of it spiking and then being lost and forgotten - a steady stream of promotion should ensure this.

It is still a bit odd that my true deep and darkest thoughts and feelings are out there for the world to see- basically my heart and soul is on show.  In truth, the feedback I have had has been about how open and honest it is and how that makes me feel with that out there.  Does it make me feel uncomfortablee?  Does it make me feel vulnerable?  Of course it does.  But it also makes me feel strong and happy that it is out there - like a weight has been lifted.

So, have a look below at some samples of 'Love or Suicide and the Life in-between', fire up Amazon, buy a copy then spread the word.  Remember, all my profit will be going to The Samaritans.

Dear Dad

The dripping alcoholic
The warm liar
The ageing sinner
The abusive man
The dead weight
The piercing fear
The blueprint
Like father, like son
Is this what I am to become?

The haunting
The shouting
The stealing
The anger
The pain
The smell
The blueprint
Like father, like son
Is this what I am to become?

Hate
Spit
Fight
Lost
Self
Destiny
The blueprint
Like father, like son
Is this what I am to become?
