Author Description

Publish and Be DamnedThe narrator is a frustrated novelist, published just twice, under different pseudonyms. Living hand to mouth on what little work he can get as a proof-reader and occasional editor, he lives on the edge of Brontë country in a small town in the Calder Valley. When approached by the mysterious Editor-in-Chief, our hero is offered the deal of an eternal lifetime. A cavalcade of characters parades through the pages as though they actually belonged there, in this biting satire. The life of an unsuccessful writer writ, if not large, certainly in exceedingly broad strokes.
