Mark Fisher

I grew up in Gosport. I am a writer, musician and performer as well as being a specialist in homelessness working with those rough-sleeping on the streets of our towns and cities. I provide advice and assistance to Ministry of Justice teams working with homeless ex-offenders including those leaving custody with no accommodation, visiting prisons, teaching others about the law. I am privileged to meet and work with some of the most dedicated and smartest people, working without complaint, assisting those with complex and deeply entrenched behaviours.

I often speak at major conferences on homelessness issues with previous invitations to Stormont and the Westminster Social Policy Forum. All of my stories touch on themes of displacement, disconnection, drugs and alcohol. Normal shit.

The overarching theme of the Pinkerton Road series is how the truth gets bent out of shape, often along with our own fragile motives and values, leaving us at the mercy of those who tell lies to manipulate us for their own ends.
