From first picking up a guitar, to writing songs and discovering a
connection to the universal source of creativity, Uncertain Heaven
is a rock 'n roll memoir that tells the story of one man's creative
path, a journey that becomes inextricably intertwined with a search
for the meaning of our existence and mankind's relationship with
God. A story of record deals, songs heard by billions on syndicated
television shows, the highs and lows of an indifferent music
industry, the painful reality of playing 'music-by-the-yard' and
the sheer joy of putting your finger up into the ethos and
downloading a song - just like Keith Richards. After years of
following the muse wherever she leads, an existential crisis leads
the author to peel back the mysteries of life itself, follow what
surely seems meant to be, only to find himself standing on the
precipice at his own potential demise.
Among these energetic and highly entertaining stories: a suicide
victim sits in a Spartan window-less waiting room eager to share
his rage with God; a transgendered spy must remain in hiding and
navigate the constrictions of a mental institute; a spurned lover
has an unexpected liaison with his sexy voiced Satnav; and two old
men discover an unlikely friendship as each faces their imminent
demise on a hospital palliative ward. Throughout these ten highly
imaginative stories Cripples & Creeps reflects the struggles,
epiphanies, desperation, loathing and simple joys of the everyday
lives and not-so-everyday lives of people around us, ultimately
revealing the layers of humanity in us all. The final story, Luck,
ties the entire collection together in an unexpected and original
way and reminds us of the fragility, serendipity and sometimes
seemingly random nature of the world we live in.
