Fragments is a collection of thirteen short stories that somehow miraculously survived the long journey I took them on, some from as far back as 1989, two from 1997 and the others from 1999, until very recently, thats to say I wrote them under adverse circumstances and managed to cling onto them by putting them all into booklets. The first six, from the spring/summer 1989 while I was living in a squat in Hackney in east London, are: Slight dreams of a Northern bastard, Crawling king snake, Preparations, Baptism by fire, Foray and Maxine. I sold a few copies at Compendium bookshop in Camden High Street in London in 1989. I walk the line and Roman Road were written in 1997 after Id left London for good and was living in Darlington. The remaining five - Confessions of a rock n roll star, In the year 5749, Thatcher killed my Grandad, The Gospel according to David and Unknown writer on the dole - all come from 1999.
