Romantic fiction

LIfe is hard for the sensitive soul in Essex, so everyone who lives here adopts a protective colouration. Simon Heffer sits down in his tutu to write for the Daily Mail, Francis Wheen promotes bare-knuckle boxing in his village hall, and Germaine Greer does karaoke nights at the Lizzie. Even I have an altar-ego, a character named Rock Hogan, who stomps about shouting in a gruff and manly voice. However, inspired by this story the Future Wolf Biologist sent Rock on a course. His adventures continue here.
