Writing Crash (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Michael Forster is the wunderkind of gritty, urban fiction - a Tarantino-esque rise to literary fame that has taken him down a dark road to excess, debauchery and expectation. And now, as the pressure of continuing to keep the bright white burn of street-cred relevance increases, Michael is facing his biggest crisis yet. New writers are emerging, threatening to over-take him as he faces the demons that success has brought him.

He starts to write again but, just as he thinks that he may just have the panacea to his chemically induced writer's block, indecision clouds his vision.

Is art imitating life? Or is it the other way around?

Could it be the drugs, the alcohol, and the bingeing have created an alternate world clouded in amnesia and just out o reach?

Or is it all in his head?

And, more importantly, who really is Desiree?

Autorenporträt

Jamie J. Buchanan is based in Perth, Western Australia. He spent many years playing in rock bands, mostly loud, fast, punk rock and heavy metal bands - the sort your parents warned you about. He is currently playing guitar, singing and writing songs for melodic punk band "Incomplete" based in Perth, Australia. But he has always been writing stories - long and short.

Jamie has had a short story "On My Goat" published by Cardigan Press in 2006 in the anthology "Allnighter" as well as having several short stories published on the Smashwords website for free download (www.smashwords.com).

The short story "Sanguine Saviour" won second place in the monthly "Darker Times" competition (www.darkertimes.co.uk) and was included in the inaugural Darker Times anthology as well.

Jamie enjoys the films of Robert Rodriguez, The Coen Brothers and Guy Richie, music by Bad Religion, Muse, The Offspring, Clutch, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Metallica, and books by James Ellroy, Irvine Welsh, Chuck Palahniuk and Stephen King. His only hates are people who talk about themselves in the third person. And Brussel Sprouts. He hates Brussel Sprouts.
