In ‘Ultrasilence’, travel with John from the provincial peccadilloes of Prestwich to coffee houses and bars by the Bosporus in İstanbul, as he explores life’s three stages of arriving, staying for a bit, and then leaving.
“Leaves us drunk on its honesty and thirsty for more.” Tony Walsh

In ‘Yes Life’, join Dom as he charts a journey from challenging times to friendship and joy, to euphoric excitement and blissful rest, moving music in grin-packed pubs, fantastic festivals and sublime seaside solitude.
“A love letter to the many ways in which we get to see the world.” Desree

‘Ultrasilence’ and ‘Yes Life’ are both published this October by Flapjack Press.
