In bold poems that root themselves firmly in the coastal landscapes of North Norfolk, a vivid and radical dialogue between nature, sexuality and self-discovery emerges.
Time and Tide is an LGBTQ themed comedy drama about a Norfolk community struggling with change.
Manatomy is a collection of wry, witty and cheeky poems exploring how nature, nurture, pop culture, prejudice and politics shape the identity of camp gay man James McDermott.
'Where can I 'explore' by the coast? Rock pools. I can't get onto Grindr and Tinder: there's no 4G in Norfolk. The whole world is a singles bar now but I can't get in. I am sick of feeling like a story that will never get told.' Jimmy is sixteen, sexually confused and stuck in the seaside town they forgot to bomb. He's screwed. Well he isn't actually: that's the problem... When pop icon Morrissey comes to London, Jimmy flees to the big city to find his hero and himself. Rubber Ring is a coming of age comedy solo play about growing up queer in a rural community, learning to love yourself, love your roots and love without labels.
An engaging and eminently well-researched novel of intrigue and suspense, set against the backdrop of the Second World War.
