First I will give you a moment in the desert. It is my letter of confidence, without which I am some uninteresting stranger you have happened upon...

After the end of the Great War, "Lawrence of Arabia", national hero and international figure, hid from celebrity by rejoining the armed forces at the lowest ranks under assumed names. In the winter of 1934/35, as Aircraftman Tom Shaw, he finished his military service on a project in Bridlington, on the Yorkshire coast.

Here, Tom Shaw tells his own story of that winter by the sea. Of the gradual fray and final destruction of the curtain he holds between himself and the world; or are his days of hiding simply over at last? The young woman who stirs feelings and memories he had long set aside; is the quest that last took him across deserts now begun again, or is romantic endeavour dead under the wheels of a simpler, less demanding love?

The Melt: Aircraftman Shaw's Last Winter is an exploration of identity, image and fragile self-worth. "Aircraftman Shaw" finds every routine day conjures his past and forces him to review as moments replayed and events relayed, his peculiar outlook on his legendary life and the way it ended, for him, in London, more than a decade before.

Autorenporträt
In the 1970s there was a popular vinyl album on which the Geoff Love Orchestra played "Great War Movie Themes." When I heard the theme to Lawrence of Arabia it made me want to know more. Music does things like that to me. I went to the old 1950s set of encyclopaedias we had in the house and looked up this fella Lawrence. He has rather haunted me ever since. I am very glad to have got The Melt written and I hope that were he to read it he would be suitably dismissive of its literary failings and enjoyably intrigued by the life I set out for him.

Oh, me? I don't really want to write about myself here. I'm not shy. I'm too modest to think I have anything to be modest about and too arrogant to care that that was a horrible line. As was that.

From Crewe, so some railway time under my belt. Left that and became a busker. Left that and went to Dartington College of Arts. Always had to work to eat. Still do.
