NOVELS
Bedroom Revolutionaries
It’s the early noughties, somewhere in an American metropolis called The City.
Eric Blair wants to write, but he doesn’t think he has any stories to tell.
Then life happens.
Bedroom revolutionaries, sex, pop culture conspiracies, terrorism …
When Eric Blair lands a soul-sucking job at a mysterious company called Sealed ASS, little does he know it will change his life for ever. Just when he thought he was going to lose the time to write, a strange series of events ultimately makes writing a mode of survival.
