My colleagues were asking about my book today, which is odd as normally we don’t have that much in the way of chat. But they showed an interest and posed a few questions, and I roused myself from my normal stupor to tell them a little bit about it. I said that it’s basically about a man who is unhappy in his life, and has an incredible offer put to him by an old acquaintance – and from there follows paranoia, fear and terror. I kept a smile on my face as I described it, as basically a conversation like that might lead to a sale (visit my website, you can find out more information about it there (grins warmly)), but basically as I was speaking I was thinking how close that description was to my own life. I’m a dissatisfied man in my Thirties, I have paranoia and frequent fearful and terrifying dreams. The only thing I haven’t had yet is the wonderful offer, as far as I can see my life is just going to keep plodding along with no chance of a change. (For whatever reason, I seem truly incapable of altering my own life).
So far, so like my book.
Except I know how my book ends.
