New Ridgwell website

Got bored and set up a new website.

In Search of the Lost Elation

Eventually, envisage just using this as my online communication portal, as one site seems more dignified than four five or six that I have now. Too Much.

The book Protest, featuring stories by Melissa Man, Steve Finbow and myself is now available to purchase. The beautiful hardcover publication is worth buying just to see what it looks like on a bookshelf, an added bonus is some quality writing inside, and interesting added extras. Check it out, limited edition only.

Book Launch Party
Category: Writing and Poetry

This Friday, 25th September at the Betsy Trotwood I will be reading from my debut novel, Last Days of the Cross published by Grievous Jones Press , alongside fellow GJ Press stablemates Melissa Mann and Lara Konesky who will be reading from their respective debut collections of poetry, Baby I'm Ready to Go and Next to Guns!

There will be book signings, tee-shirt signings, tit signings, raffles for free copies of the books, and then general partying until chucking out time. For all you 24hr party people, there's an all dayer at the very same venue the following day, so if like me you plan to stay out for the duration, you will be able to party on down well into the early hours of Sunday morning. Just be prepared to rock and roll right to the very bitter end!

Adios
