My new book. Ready for printing and publishing. Kindle available now.
Here it is. Now available from Kindle. Paperback available soon.
Jackson Fearnsby’s fiftieth year began badly, ended better, and was in between punctuated by a series of seasonal events and anniversaries shared with his friends and family. Set in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1950, this story follows the life of an ordinary man in an ordinary job living an ordinary life with his ordinary family in an ordinary city — then no more than a large town — while struggling with the doubts and anxieties which came with middle-age to an already troubled mind.

One of the benefits of the Covid lockdown: my new book.
Writers can usually only dream of being able to lock themselves away to work uninterrupted by the 'real world'. But my dream came true over the lockdown period. I started my new book on May 1 and it's finished.
It's called:
Jacko. One Bloke. One Year.
Here's the cover blurb:
Jackson Fearnsby’s fiftieth year began badly, ended better,

story follows the life of an ordinary man in an ordinary job living an ordinary
life with his ordinary family in an ordinary city — then no more than a large
town — while struggling with the doubts and anxieties which came with
middle-age to an already troubled mind.

NEW. 'The Boys and Men of Auckland's Mickey Rooney Gang'. KIndle version available NOW
Here's the cover and the back cover blurb:
In a working-class suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, in 1957, eight mildly rebellious schoolboys, inevitably obsessed with sex, were attracted to the arrogant and thoroughly delinquent little Mickey Rooney whose fantastic dreams of Hollywood fame were to be his downfall.
It wasn’t a real gang, and it didn’t last long. It disintegrated after an obscene practical joke played by Mickey on the gang’s most vulnerable member. Meanwhile, though, the boys’ thoughts, conversations and actions, which were largely crude and obscene – as the thoughts, conversations and actions of boys and men often are – are faithfully reported here in plain and graphic language.
The book then follows the boys into manhood. Nine men. Nine lives involving love and romance, sadness and joy, success and failure, illness and death, drugs and vice, violence and crime, and murder.
Nine men with nothing in common but the teenage year they wasted in Mickey Rooney’s gang.
