Synopsis

Julius McEarly, in a surreal landscape of his own metaphoric inner thoughts and haphazard projections of reality, is a man on the run from a previous life. He sees himself as a Fish... but not just any Fish... A Capital Letter Fish... a Noun Fish... moonlit of the Scales and slick and agile of the Fin. In his search for Anarchy, Freedom and Love, with perhaps along the way just a little Immortality, his dearest wish is to become ordinary and rejoin The Shoal. Struggling to survive in a world where 'Normality' is under a process of constant revision, he finds his future placed in the hands of an eleven-year-old Tinker girl... whose hair is a bright conflagration upon her head, whose lies wisp her teeth like chicken feathers, and whose eyes are blacker than he ever saw on a Kipper. Enter The Fox...

About this title

About the Author

Bill Allerton lives, sleeps, drinks and writes in Sheffield, a place he leaves only occasionally to buy anthologies with short story competitions on the back page. (Which he may or may not remember having entered.) He likes listening to his own voice on the radio and trying to convince ladies that it is safe to ride on the back of his motorbike. To pay the mortgage Bill manages a small building company and, when not lamenting with people over the poor state of their house, likes to write and make love ( in that order). He also has the ability to make a fine guitar sound like 18 feet of string and a yard of Korean ply. Bill is currently writing a collective novel under the working title 'Urban Foxes', which he hopes to complete this year, or next.
