Rotting Man Goes to Town

Rotting Man Goes to Town deals with an adult relationship; which is in deep trauma from the outset of the story. Its technique is predominately dual narration, going from him to her vantage points. There are two sides to every story. Some of the language is hard-hitting, with angry scenes or mindsets, including some swearing. Political incorrectness exists in parts. The emotions are raw. It is a compelling and authentic read. It begins badly. How will it end?

The initial setting is in America, with flashbacks to Britain, meant to counter the: hurt, sadness and anger, by the use of the device of injecting past comedic episodes. Levity and tragedy are seen in animal antics. Thus, the humorous scenes are meant to bring a balance to the novel overall.

With the exception of the animals’ names, which remain true, all human names have been changed.

Run they said.... War of the Mind

Mental health is a journey, it has lots of ups and downs. Just like life, we never know which way it will go: from happiness to sadness, from worry to not a care in the world. There are books, films and discussions which try to tell you which way to turn, when realistically you are the only one who holds the answers. Sometimes, though, you need a bit of help – and that’s what I got from the strangest place, inside my head! A poet: whenever there was trouble, he appeared and led me back to happiness, helping me on my journey.
My friend the poet plotted my pathways and shaped my future, carving my destiny as we went through the darkest periods of my life with the only support coming from within and from the pen, which indeed is mightier than the sword. It can write or draw happier days and times, even if the parchment is used and damaged.
From darkness into light through inner strength and the spoken and written word…
“Si vis pacem, para bellum.”
