PRAISE FOR GLITTERBALLS
As a debut novel this is top-notch talent. Funny, acerbic, classy writing and a story like a five course meal. PAUL ABBOTT screen writer / producer
I think it is magnificent - whole worlds in tiny sitting rooms. Im very jealous. Id love to have written this. JENNY ECLAIR comedian / writer
So much more than a funny book. MICHELE MCDONAGH writer
Infused with a savage wit, Glitterballs is a bleak-black satire on the music industry, sleazy celebrities, and the grim reality of fame. It is a seething, acerbic and frequently hilarious morality tale of pathetic pop-stars, those that perpetuate them, and the unfortunates who fall foul of their desperate behaviour. ADELLE STRIPE writer
This is absolutely STONKING. Its like Tom Sharpe went woke. JENNY LANDRETH writer
Wow. LEMN SISSAY poet
Its that rare thing, a great comic novel with prose that sings; imagine the dark Northern suburbia of Peter Tinniswood crossed with a particularly grisly episode of VH1: Behind The Music. ANDREW MALE music journalist
Its brilliant. HARLAND MILLER artist / writer
Piss funny. SEAN CONWAY screenwriter
A fiercely sharp, cackle-out loud send-up o the misogynist music industry that turns its eyeroll-inducing vernacular into gleeful, sardonic fiction. AUDREY GOLDEN writer
Incredibly funny, a tale inhabited by the damned, the damaged and the awful. Brilliant. MARK THOMAS comedian
Funny books are rare, and hilarious books are gold dust. Glitterballs is a 24 carat dissection of the hubris of fame. Obviously I loved it. BENJAMIN MYERS writer
Tears now, at the end. Just beautiful. JIMMY DOWDALL screen writer
