Our aim is to promote, highlight and generally bring to your attention writers that are new and hot, writers that are rough and ready and writers that have thus far been ignored by publishers who look for mass market clones. It's a labour of love and very much an ongoing project but if you look below you can see that we're making headway. Try one of our books and make up your own mind - you might be glad you did.

 

 

HOT OFF THE PRESS!

 

 

 

Maxwell's Silver Hammer - Andy Rivers

 

 

'A thumping debut from a barnstorming new talent.'  - Danny King

 

After Billy Reeves had survived a poverty ridden and violent childhood on a council estate in Newcastle he thought he had it all; a loving family, money and respect but a face from the past with a point to prove and muscles to flex is out to bring  his world crashing down on him.

Billy is going to have to work very hard just to keep everyone he cares about alive and that means the gloves are coming off...

I'm Rivelino - Andy Rivers

 
'Funny, fanatical and thoroughly enjoyable'  - Lovereading.co.uk
 
Thanks to a family member taking him to his first match in the early seventies whilst he was young and impressionable Andy Rivers discovered Newcastle United. Given the stress and despair this has caused him over the last thirty years it's fair to assume that this action would be considered child abuse today. His story, peppered with terrace wit and rough charm, will be identified with by supporters of a certain age everywhere.
 

 
 
'Uncompromising, gritty realism' - The Crack 
 
Stories of giant rats, vigilantes, teenage car thieves and bent politicians as well as many more.
If you like blood and guts, sex and drugs or gangsters and thugs then there’s something in here for you.
 
 
 
 
'Imaginative writing' - The Crack

We’ve got a tart with a heart in a satellite town, a chav girl up a mountain, an ageing rock star pretending to be gay and a hard case in a soft shirt celebrating his birthday, amongst others.  Pick it up if you're brave enough...put it down if you can!

 
 
 
 

'Bright, fresh and varied voices with edge' - The A63 Revisited

 

The very first in our 'Radgepacket' series. It tells tales of armed robbers, funeral frolics, giving birth, giving head, tragic drunken escapades and much, much more.
