(ISBN: 0-9554699-0-2)Available on amazon.I self published it under the publisher name of Armley Press just before Xmas '06.It's a playful romp through the head of a cocky, over confident teenager - involving a Bowie obsession and stepping out in make-up and effeminate clothing aged 13/14 (1977/78) in a tough, gritty, northern, English city - think The Full Monty/Billy Elliot/Kes but rougher.Covering topics such as: OBSESSION - BOYS IN MAKE-UP - PUNK - FOOTBALL - CHILDHOOD - BOWIE - MAD NUNS - GIRLS - LIFE - HOT WHEELS - LEEDS - CROSS COUNTRY - VIOLENCE - SEX - THE '70s - ADOLESCENCE - MY DEATHMySpace Layouts | |
