About this ebook
One man's increasingly revealing discussion with a drunkard in a seedy bar reveals more about who he is than he intended. A tale of alcohol, excess and realisation.
Jamie J. Buchanan
Jamie J. Buchanan is based in Perth, Western Australia. He spent many years playing in rock bands, mostly loud, fast, punk rock and heavy metal bands - the sort your parents warned you about. He is currently playing guitar, singing and writing songs for melodic punk band "Incomplete" based in Perth, Australia. But he has always been writing stories - long and short. Jamie has had a short story "On My Goat" published by Cardigan Press in 2006 in the anthology "Allnighter" as well as having several short stories published on the Smashwords website for free download (www.smashwords.com). The short story "Sanguine Saviour" won second place in the monthly "Darker Times" competition (www.darkertimes.co.uk) and was included in the inaugural Darker Times anthology as well. The short story "The Woman on the Pavement" is published in an upcoming Editor's Choice anthology by Stringybark Press called "Hitler Did It". Jamie's short story "Battle of Wits" has won the Raspberry and Vine short story comp for 2012 - you can read it here: http://home.people.net.au/~raspberryandvine/ Jamie has had several stories short-listed as well including "Insights" in the 2013 Carmel Bird Short Story Award and "Imagine This" in the 2014 Bundaberg Writers' Writefest Award 2014.
