Michael Jarvie

That’s more like it.
A working-class writer is something to be.

Today’s reading.
Cracking band as well.

Today’s day trip.

Latest find.

More railway related stuff.
My translation of course.

Fill your boots.

Too expensive I’m afraid.

I might get one of these as long as it’s free because I can’t afford a website.

The paperback has arrived.

Nice one. I don’t get any more work because of AI so it leaves me free to work on my novel and read.

Latest research for my German novel The Sharp Judge.
Echt working-class culture.

Today’s grub.
Sausages, mash and sauerkraut.
Cheap and delicious fare.

Today’s day trip. Where the middle class Smoggies hang out with their Porsches and Chelsea tractors.

Since I’ve amassed an avalanche of new followers let me introduce myself. I describe myself as a samizdat writer which simply means that I am forced to self publish because the mainstream has no interest in my work. Despite that, an essay of mine is scheduled to be published by Zero Books.

I’m just obsessive in that respect. Kubrick is a kindred spirit. He wanted to watch every film ever made!

It’s official. I now have more followers on here than Twitter.

My take on ratatouille. Asda didn’t have aubergines (the philistines) so I replaced them with carrots.
Very tasty it was too.

Correct. She was the procuress.

The translator’s role is often under appreciated.

Interesting. Like Kubrick with films I never DNF anything. I read everything and like to dissect what’s wrong with them. And I’ve read some absolute stinkers in my time like The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and Fifty Shades.

The creative writing group of which I’m a member has a new anthology coming out this month.
Isn’t the cover design great?
It’ll be available on Amazon just like our previous anthology A Thread Of Raindrops.

I’d better hurry up completing my work in progress The Sharp Judge. We are currently in the Weimar Republic years.
Soon be the Hitler years when books like mine will be burned.

Check out these beautiful bastards. They’re getting cooked tomorrow in a ratatouille.

Correct. You’re better off raising the price. My bestseller is £10.99.

www.thebookseller.com/news/unbound... I dodged a bullet with these shysters after I pitched them my books Autumnal Elegies and Sonata Form.
Fortunately they rejected both of them because I’m a working-class oik who wouldn’t be able to raise the necessary dosh (£5000) from his mates.
