“Book Thirteen” is the darkly comic debut prose novel of established comic book scriptwriter, Jamie Delano and published under his pen-name, A. William James.  The Old Writer is losing the plot.  Struggling to complete the long-overdue thirteenth and final volume of his cult ‘Leepus’ series of bizarre detective novels, he is exhaustingly distracted by the anarchic reality of his family life.   Rude Jude, Jilted John, Vile Viola, ASBO Angie, Cracked Jack and Obscene Irene are the characters of his life story—relatives and children whose dysfunctional lives conspire to undermine his efforts to find them resolution and redemption.  He’s written their lives so far, he claims, without invoking disaster; but now he’s worried he’s crossed the line between reality and imagination, sucking them all into the fragile and perilous territory of his subconscious.  The only questioning remaining is: can get his derailed opus back on track before he reaches The End?  Ranging between episodes of hilarity and pathos, touching tenderness and raw violence, “Book Thirteen” deftly embraces both the slapstick and the poignant, being simultaneously both cynical and life-affirming.  While those familiar with Delano’s comics work will recognise the narrative voice, they may also discover a new dimension and subtext in this accomplished addition to his canon.

Spiked with a blue pill. Out cold for long time. Days spent sparko. When you come round you’re different. Full on smarter: ramped up grey cells maxed. Genius. But blud, trying to dig up an ultra famous corpse was maybe a bit too clever. . . "Kiss My ASBO" is a crackling drama of underclass, urban youth. Given an experimental drug by an ex-military relative, its lead character finds himself evolving new mental skills and insights to aid survival in an environment and society in which he previously felt unwelcome. Pushing the boundaries of language and offering a fresh perspective, this innovative debut novel is sink-estate 'grime fiction'.

With this strikingly sure-footed debut novel Deborah Delano brings a fresh contemporary female voice to English crime. Set in a 1980s northern British city, THE SADDEST SOUND tells an authentic story of female grit and resistance to violence as, in the face of prejudice and indifference, a courageous pair of lesbian prostitutes ally with sympathetic radfems to expose a brutal and misogynistic serial killer. Delano treats her dreadful and unsettling subject with insight, wit and candour. The women entangled in this web of insanity are far from the conventional helpless victims traditional in the genre; they are visionary heroes, struggling for survival and cultural recognition in an environment of casual oppression. Delano is currently at work on a second novel for publication in 2017.

A unique concept frames Richard Foreman's 'Wilful Misunderstandings', a collection of short stories from Lepus Books. In each of these thirty-four tales the author takes a word, phrase or saying, twisting it into a new meaning, and by extension a new reality. The stories that emerge extend across a diverse stylistic range through sci-fi, adventure, crime, romance, horror, folk tale and magic realism. The many worlds of 'Wilful Misunderstandings' can be rampantly surrealistic at times, not so very different from our own at others. A 'parapet' becomes a beast assigned as a familiar to would-be mystics. If you go out and 'stretch your legs' you come home taller. 'Accolade' is a drink that gives you a pat on the back. But in each tale, readers will meet engaging characters in intriguing situations - some humorous, some perilous, some with deep emotional resonance.
