"Romance that kicks you in the teeth like a sixteen hole doc marten boot" Having recently been dropped by my publisher, my books canceled and finding myself out of work, rather than seeing my beloved 'Fall Back Down' trilogy homeless, I've decided to relaunch them in a brand new format. Every week I am going to work through the books, chapter by chapter. This is not meant to be an audio book, it's not a professional recording, it is casual and informal, just me reading my books to you the way I might if I were reading to a friend, with a little bit of chat and original music mixed in. Here is the basic jist of the first book:Tobias Grave and Morven Strike have nothing in common, or so it would seem. A punk rock legend in his thirties who's had a poverty stricken life on the streets, plagued by a drink and drug problem, and a teenage girl, who, well, has had a pretty normal life so far. Just doesn't seem right does it? Yet it works, somehow, for a while at least, until it all comes crashing down. You can open this memoir of a punk rock lifestyle almost at any point and be entertained by touching stories of Tobi and his band of street punks or harrowing accounts of drug and alcohol abuse. Tobi has had to overcome some huge trials in his life but see how this hardened die hard punk will cope when he looses the love of his life to a group of racist, nazi skin heads.
