About the Book

Leonard Stuck, hungry for fame, but missing out on the success enjoyed by some of his peers, hitches a ride with America's hottest architect, Hank Nero, to jointly design a signature project for a seaside site on the east coast of Britain. Brian, an assistant, is drafted in to help. Petra, his wife and business partner is delighted, but when she discovers yet another of Leonard's infidelities, this time right under her nose, she decides it's time to take revenge, knowing also that younger, talented architects like Brian Farmer need their chance to succeed. Over the span of a year, Brian's fate is interwoven with those of his friends, bosses, and clients, until events reach a shattering climax at an unforgettable Christmas party, bringing everyone's year to a terrible close. A biting satire on the search for success, Powerlines: Pride and Fall, the first of a trilogy of novels featuring Brian and his friends, all of them desperate to find love and success, is a rollercoaster ride that takes us from London to Los Angeles and back again, and tells a story about how love triumphs even when the desire for success warps everyone's lives."

About the Author :
Having been an architect for most of my professional life, I now consider writing to be as important, particularly having devoted much more time to it over the last four years. In Powerlines, my first novel, and Young Lions, its sequel, I have enjoyed satirising the profession of architecture from the point of the view of the ever beleaguered assistant, who suffers the whims and mood swings of his famous and powerful employers. As one reader pointed out though, I could have been describing any professional environment. The Marble Boy, my third, is a quite different novel based on a journey through the Mediterranean. Written from the point of view of one man escaping a past, and the straightjacket of his sexuality, he is in search of love and acceptance. I am currently writing a new novel, which at this stage will be a tragi-comedy set in the Middle East, and several short stories. I was born in Bury St Edmunds, England in 1962, and grew up in Southend on Sea before a permanent move to London, where I now live. I have studied architecture in London and Glasgow, and then, after years in a high profile firm of architects, where I became a senior design Partner in the business, I am now currently practicing as an architect independently. I am also an artist, and regularly exhibit in galleries in the UK. I have also travelled extensively, including the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Asia and beyond, and look forward to much more travelling in the future.
