Drew Gummerson

My first book The Lodger was a finalist in the Lambda Awards and I have been in various short story collections and on websites. I was the winner of the 2005 Leicestershire Short Story Comp and also a winner in the 2005 Middlesex University Press Prize. My new book 'Me and Mickie James' is available now.

PRAISE FOR ME AND MICKIE JAMES
THE GUARDIAN
"Oddly affecting... manages to avoid both cliché and sentimentality... the reader willingly surrenders to the mad tour."
DAZED AND CONFUSED
“Gummerson hits upon an awkward ingenious prose style that makes biting comedy out of both the surreal and the mundane.”
3SIXTY
“Me and Mickie James is guaranteed to put a smile on the most miserable of faces.”
AESTHETICA
“Everyone needs a light-hearted book sometimes and Me and Mickie James does the trick.”
GT
“Gummerson’s dry humour will have you chuckling from page one to the end.”
CHROMA
“Won’t be forgotten in a hurry.”
GAYDARNATION
“Gummerson has written a gem of a novel.”
PULP.NET
“Constantly slap-stick silly... it may tell you a thing or two about the fun of being off beat.”
BOOK MARKS
“Gummerson anchors this charmingly quirky novel with exuberant storytelling and effervescent dialogue.”
