Welcome to the Bloggertropolis Brilliant Bookshop - the online repository of books and publications written by yours truly.

I have a number of titles for sale - most of them are Kindle downloads but for those traditionalists among you who prefer the smell of paper and glue there is also a small selection of paperback editions for sale. I am hoping to extend the range of both the real and virtual books over the coming months so please do pop back regularly and check out my latest publications. All proceeds go to a very worthwhile cause: my own aspiring writers' fund and as such will be much appreciated.

The Great Escapes Of Danny Houdini - Kindle edition. When you are not Morpheus or Han Solo life can be difficult. When you are Danny Walker, have a pronounced stutter and can't get a girlfriend life is virtually impossible. But all this changes when Danny meets and falls in love with Thalia Buchanan, a Deaf girl who works at the local college. Through Thalia's positive influence Danny is gradually weaned off his reliance on Hollywood inspired fantasy and pulled into a far more exciting reality.

Danny's journey however is not without its trials.


The first of these is his parents - Denise and Daniel Senior - under whose roof he is currently living. They seem to be permanently stuck in the 1950's and their idea of interior design would make Steptoe's yard look like a show home. It is their constant rows and social faux pas that have driven Danny to rely on an internal fantasy world in order to cope with his outwardly miserable life.

Danny's biggest problem of all though comes in the shape of his older brother Matthew, a self deluded ladies man who invariably comes packaged with the belligerently offensive Barry Wyton. Matthew's best friend since school, Barry is a small time drug dealer who fuels Matthew's many Saturday night peccadilloes with whatever drugs he happens to be pushing at the time. Danny doesn't like Barry and Barry definitely doesn't like Danny but when Barry decides to embark on the "deal of the century" the destructive shadow he casts over them all threatens to destroy not only Matthew's marriage but also Danny's one and only chance of true happiness.

I've Been To Paradise But I've Never Been To Binley Mega Chippy - Kindle edition. It's true. I've been to Paradise but I've never been to Binley Mega Chippy. But during my search I've learnt some truly amazing life lessons. Like what 'No Risk Natalia Portman' actually means. Like why it's OK to fancy some women on the telly that you're really not supposed to. And why, when you have a pussy, you never ever pee alone. And I'm prepared to share all this with you alongside lurid tales of Death by Beaver, Google Predictive Death and the shocking news that Prince Harry is poised to lead Native Americans in open revolt. Apparently. All this and sterling investigations into CrapNavs, Nasal Bungees, Moobs and why, in modern life, shoddy comes fitted as standard. Welcome to The Power of Nerd.
