An early, unpublished novel of mine, Under The Hill is now available as a Kindle ebook.
It's a short novel completed in the mid-1980s. I had just begun to send it off to publishers and agents when Paulo Coelho's novel The Alchemist was published to wide acclaim. I read it with incredulity: it was -totally coincidentally - very similar in subject matter, tone and style to Under The Hill.
I gave up sending my novel out and since then it's been collecting digital dust along with a considerable amount of other prose: fiction (novels, novellas, stories), plays (rejected by BBC Radio), travel articles, essays and criticism of Art.
There is another short novel completed in the late 1990s which I hope to make available soon also, in the same format.
Watching For The Dawn, the sequel to We Go Down... and promised for this summer, I have now put back until the winter. It remains tantalisingly close to completion though I experiencing something of a block in this effort.
