All Of Us Are In The Gutter, But Some Of Us Are Looking Up At The Stars

About Me

It was raining the day it happened, the day everything changed, the day the world changed forever, the day I was born. A monumental moment you may say, well if you believe my Mum I was born asleep, smacked by the doctor I cried once then fell asleep again. Start as you mean to go on I say. The early years are a blur, apparently a beautiful baby I used to carry a plastic hammer with me everywhere, then when somebody peered into the pram I would proceed to smack them with the hammer. Oh those were the days. The teenage years were forgettable, full of rejection and loneliness (no point in feeling sorry now, the scars are what made me me) Education came and went, yet more failure, then came work. Oh how time flies when you're having fun (I think I may have mistaken the word fun for another one) During all this time I had a dream, an ambition, an aim to turn my daydreaming into something real. So I turned to writing, Novels, Short Stories, Screenplays, anything to get those dreams out there, to make something of myself. With your help those dreams could come true. Help make my Mum proud. Cheers Munchkins

My Interests

Add yourself to the map. Let's see how small a world we can make it.I love listening to all sorts of music and watching film, but most importantly to me I enjoy writing. I have written two novels, a book of short stories and several short film scripts, I am currently trying to get the novels published, as it is my dream to make money from my daydreaming. All of the books listed below are available in print or can be downloaded from www.lulu.com/alcanlin

HEAVEN"Heaven is a lap dancing club run by Jack Fisher and Max Morton. To say it has a reputation is an understatement. They do not call it Heaven for nothing. The exploits around the club are being investigated by the police, and they set up an undercover investigation. But things are not always what they seem. The lines between love & hate, business & pleasure become blurred, as you are thrown into a world of shady criminals, bent coppers and beautiful women. Can you keep up? Or is Heaven too much for you?"

TWISTED LOVE"A collection of short stories all of them are loosely based around the theme of love, but with a twist. The Smell - is about a woman who suspects her husband of having an affair because of the smell of perfume on his clothes, but can she handle the truth. Two Men In A Lift - does exactly what it says on the tin, it's about two men stuck in a lift. Ifs And Buts - is an obsession that leads to tragic consequences. Last Breath - is a man looking back on his life and trying to work out if things really did go wrong. Some of the stories might make you think or even cry, but they will take you where you were not expecting to go."

BLACK & WHITE"Morven lives her entire life behind a camera, she feels safer, more in control. Her job as a forensic photographer exposes her to life's more seedy side. Especially when there's a serial killer running loose in the city and the people in her dreams start to appear on the mortuary slab the next day. She starts to worry about her own sanity. Life is thrown into further turmoil when she recieves a phonecall from her mother telling her that her father is dying. She is forced to return to the small town she grew up in and was so desperate to escape, finding out a family secret that turns her world upside down. She can't hide from life any more, but who she turns to puts her in mortal danger."

I'd like to meet:


Anybody and everybody. Feel free to talk to me, I'm only little, so I won't bite. I will reply to everybody who adds a comment (and that's a promise)."There's only one thing worse than being talked about, and that's not being talked about."
