Out now… Lee Redfern – “Beggars in the Dark”

Marber Be surveys his father’s clock repair shop in the ciity the day after the funeral. An assistant he hired the day before whilst drunk enters, followed by an elderly woman of 100 years old, who recalls him from before but cannot think where. The one person he wants to walk through the door is his missing daughter Kristiana but he does not know where she is.

Someone who may know is Hooton Filty – his father’s ex-apprentice who, after striking up a relationship with his son’s daughter, he aided and abetted in their departure. It is Barclay Am, an unwilling victim in this game of chance, who inadvertantly uncovers Filty hiding in a museum located by the river and unwitting becomes victim in a scam, inciting his boss to uncover his own murky past.

“Beggars in the Dark” is a surreal play that reconnects events and people who are recovering from broken time and are brought together by two beggars found sitting by the roadside – for reasons known only to themselves.

New Cover: “The Fall of Levitation” – Out Now (Paperback / Kindle)

A human heart in the hands of a patron dining in the White Nights cafe; children swinging from the trees in the grounds of a local church; a body found by the river during a torrential downpour; bullets in the garden in a random game of William Tell but who can say who is buried beneath the small wooden cross? A house can only give away so many secrets, most remain left to providence. With so many stories to tell, it should be a normal day in Burningtree for local journalist Jake Boom. Only when his boat is found burning on the beach by the local police and his girlfiend Mora fails to return home from a trip to Paris, does the spotlight turn on Jake himself and his father… with Brothers waiting to knock at their front door once again. “The Fall of Levitation” tears down the walls of every story this professional flaneur has investigated. It is a story of childhood, of heartbreak, of high comedy and surreal drama. And like all good stories, it is at the end where this one must begin…
