New novel from Cardiff fan - Your Own Plastic Dragon

Fri Feb 01, 2013 1:14 pm

Afternoon lads,

If you're already wondering, this book is in no way linked to the rebrand at Cardiff - I finished it six months before the rebrand was even announced!

Long story short, I've written a book, it's set in the Valleys and Cardiff, and it's now available on the Kindle and other e-devices. Here's a summary:

"When artistic loner Owen Llewellyn escapes a childhood of poverty and alienation in the South Wales Valleys for a new life in the regenerated Cardiff docklands, nothing can prepare him for the path of self-destruction that lies ahead.

"Aided by Jay, a poster boy for the capital's new thirst for designer living, excess and depravity, Owen battles chronic shyness and self-doubt in a bid to become one of "the beautiful people". To survive he must first throw off his working class upbringing, but just how far will his past allow him to run?

"Beginning on the eve of the Miners' Strike and culminating at the dawn of the new millennium, Your Own Plastic Dragon is a story of the search for belonging in an old country shaping a new identity for itself in the 21st century."

Are there any steamy scenes that involve Susanna Reid screaming obscenities as she gets her clacker hammered whilst squirting? If so, I'll download a copy right now,

I'm afraid it's not that sort of book. :wave:

I fully understand. If that's the case, I'll settle for a chapter that involves Jo Joyner shaving her growler whilst in the shower - surely it must include that?

Would have sold 1000's if it included Susanna Reid's clacker and Jo Joyners growler. And dragon felching for Moz.
