Other Work

I am also seeking representation from an agent for a novel and a collection of poetry:

4. The Ramayana of Croydon (novel; 120,000 words; literary fiction).

‘The Ramayana of Croydon’ is a psychogeographical novel set in Croydon in 2006. Two young men wander through the streets and pubs of Croydon meeting people and seeking happiness in their own ways. The bliss of Hindu mysticism is contrasted with the happiness brought about by narcotics and alcohol. Friendship, romance and the urban environment are other themes in a tale which offers practical steps for personal development and joy. A self-help book masquerading as a novel, ‘The Ramayana of Croydon’ reveals the cause of happiness and the cure for unhappiness. 

5. ‘Littlehampton and Other Poems’ (60 poems; 12,500 words) 

Selection of poems on various themes, including: friendship (‘Wine Oranges Chocolates’); love (‘The South Coast Quartet’); life (‘Flying Fish’); travel (‘Danish Television’); and time (‘A Night at the Opera’). Includes ‘Valerie’ (see below).

Published Poetry:

‘Valerie’ 

A young man remembers his first love.
