Dieser Autor verfasst fesselnde Liebesgeschichten, die sich oft um einen Journalisten namens Kim drehen, der auf seine vergangenen Beziehungen zurückblickt. Jede Erzählung ist von bittersüßer Nostalgie durchdrungen, da Liebesaffären häufig zu unglücklichen Wendungen neigen. Der Stil des Autors zeichnet sich durch scharfe Einblicke in die Komplexität menschlicher Beziehungen aus und nutzt Ironie, um die unvermeidlichen Enttäuschungen zu erforschen, die der Romantik innewohnen. Sein umfangreicher journalistischer Hintergrund prägt seine Fähigkeit, lebendige Charaktere und packende Handlungen zu schaffen.
Kim, 17 Jahre alt und im letzten College-Jahr, träumt von Mädchen und ist wenig am Lernen interessiert. Seine Welt verändert sich, als er die junge, attraktive Klavierlehrerin India trifft, in die er sich sofort verliebt. Dieses letzte Semester wird sein Leben grundlegend beeinflussen.
Eton Rogue is a hilarious and shocking story of scandal and rebellion - all set in the heart of the world's most famous school, Eton College. Meet our Eton Rogue: Seventeen-year-old Cary, now embarking on his extraordinary final year at Eton. Prince William has joined the school and the British tabloids are ravenous for headlines. Cary is the mole who's making thousands selling stories to the Sun newspaper - and while he's at it, he's secretly dating a housemaster's daughter. Based on true events, the rule of Eton Rogue is simple: The more outrageous the tale, the greater the chances that it actually occurred.
Sales of Sex: The Most Fun You Can Have Without Laughing have led the authors to dig further into literature and folklore to come up with almost 500 more witty and telling quotations about the subject of sex. Drawings throughout.
"Seventeen-year-old schoolboy Kim is an idle drifter at one of Britain's most extraordinary institutions, Eton College - crammed with over a thousand boys and not a girl in sight. His head is full of the Falklands War and a possible army career, until the day he hears his new piano teacher, the beautiful but pained India, playing Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Kim's life is destined never to be the same again. An intensely passionate affair develops and he wallows in the wild and unaccustomed thrill of first love. Twenty-five years on, Kim recalls that heady summer and how their fledgling relationship was so brutally snuffed out - finished off by his enemies, by the constraints of Eton, and by his own withering jealousy. A bittersweet story of a life-changing love."--Publisher description

Based on the true story of the tabloid hack who became a Queen's footman, Palace Rogue is a charming, uplifting and utterly outrageous story of love and secrets - all of it set in the heart of one of the world's most famous houses.
