Like Pushing Tin
The ideas just keep coming: books, films, TV series, apps, Pyramid Schemes …
And like an air traffic controller managing circling aircraft, I try to find ways to help a select few land in the public domain – with varied degrees of success.
Here’s some of the projects that have made it into the public space.
Enola Pie
A vantablack comedy, Enola Pie tells the story of a vigilante transvestite and a teenage runaway who become unlikely partners on a mission to ‘rescue’ a porn star. But the story unfurls into a wider exploration of, among other things, gun violence, gender identity, and the virtues of vintage Capri pants.
The Killing Strip
A mystery/thriller, The Killing Strip is an historical novel about Berlin and its colourful, disparate inhabitants, jumping time frames to explore the notions of freedom, obsession – and the walls inside us all.
We Have Visitors
The first in a series of Tiny Tales for children, We Have Visitors tells the story of a planet gripped by the arrival of an alien ship and the special reason for its visit … (suitable for 6-12 yr olds).
The Snoots Upstairs
The second in a series of Tiny Tales, The Snoots Upstairs tells the story of one girl’s misadventures with her unusual new neighbours. (suitable for 6-9 yr olds).
