Books
Not Being First fish and other diary dramas
“MySpace is what we had before we discovered Facebook and began driving our young folk into the darker recesses of Instagram and WhatsApp, before everyone became a musician and flooded us with band noises of variable quality, and just before the whole thing collapsed under the weight of animated glitter bombs. These snippets are drawn from that recent past. They are largely true if a little fictionalised, (very fictionalised if you think you recognise yourself), and of virtually no social value. You might find them a bit funny though because obviously I do.”
Available from Amazon.
Let Me Tell You a Story
Available from Amazon. Here’s an audio clip, and here’s Ian McMillan reading his Foreword. If you’ve never heard a Yorkshire accent, his is like a pint of strong,dark beer in a big dimpled glass.Every story and poem has its own sound track that you access by scanning a QR code. There’s more information about why being able to hear the words as you read them might be important on the Readalongreads site. You can find the book here.
