Books...Books...Books...Books...

 

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!

 


More Burglar Diaries                                                                                                              Danny King


 

Bex and Ollie are a couple of small-time burglars. They scratch a living robbing shops, burgling factories and emptying offices around the back-water town of Tatley.

 

Bex is the brains, Ollie drives the van.

 

Neither are particularly ambitious, preferring instead to think small and live comfortably, rather than aim high and risk time. 

 

The lads don’t have it all their own way though; ‘Weasel’ of CID is only one faltering step behind them, the local criminal competition will do anything to stitch them up and the loves of their lives are wondering what the hell they’ve done to deserve them.

 

Things are about to finally catch up with Bex and Ollie.

 

We've got some SIGNED copies available for only £6.99

(and you can get a signed copy of Radge1 for only £4.99 as well - bargain!)

 

 

Or you can buy via Amazon or Lovereading

 

                    

                   

 


 I'm Rivelino - A Life of Two Halves                                                                            Andy Rivers

 

‘When you think of Rotherham in a football sense you think of 'perennial football league strugglers' and "playing Newcastle? Oh the romance of the cup." Well all I could see was fifteen stone, pie eating nutters covered in tattoos and no matter how much aftershave they'd slapped on there'd be no f**king romance going on there I can tell you...!’

 

Thanks to a family member taking him to his first match in the early seventies whilst he was at a young and impressionable age 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.

 
  
Buy from Amazon -  It's actually cheaper from them than it is from us and we'd rather you saved money...cos you might buy another one then!
 

               

 

 
The Radgepacket Collection 

Radgepacket 3
 
The eagerly awaited third volume in the ‘Radgepacket – Tales from the Inner Cities’ series Continues the Byker Books quest to bring you the best in ‘unsigned and unhinged’ British talent as well as the more established names. We’ve got 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.
 
Radgepacket 2
 
Radge 2 takes over from where it’s predecessor left off. 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.

 These tales from the Inner Cities and many more are told in our usual style - brutal, uncompromising and explicit. If you like your fiction with happy endings, little kittens playing with string and no swearing then you won’t like this!

 

On the other hand, if you’re brave enough to pick this up then you might just find it hard to put down......

 
Radgepacket 1
 
The very first in our 'Radgepacket' series. Short fiction from some of Britains most promising 'unknowns' (and a couple that aren't!) that reflects the grimy, seedy, hilarious and brilliant country we live in.  Buy a copy and have a look so when these authors are all taking turns to be flavour of the month for the tabloids you can smugly claim to have been there at the start.
 
It tells tales of armed robbers, funeral frolics, giving birth, giving head, tragic drunken escapades and much more. We've also identified an up and coming author and twisted his arm to give us an exclusive story, an interview and copies of his latest novel to give to you in our 'Extras' section. 
 
All this for £4.99 with FREE P&P -  it's madness I tell you. 
(Just use the paypal button under 'More Burglar Diaries' - cheers) 
 
***There's only a few of these books left and we're not printing any more. They'll be worth millions one day...probably...  so stop spying and start buying
your grandkids might just thank you for it! ***
