'Going For The Wire' is a collection of three stories of escape. Its author, Chris Leicester says: ‘It’s what we all want to do sometimes - break free. These people do.’
‘Alien Baby’, features a little boy escaping a cold and heartless home life with his imagination and a new friend, a diver escaping to a beautiful world beneath the waves and a couple hoping to escape from the grinding reality of day-to-day life using money. Their stories collide spectacularly and their lives will never be the same again.
‘Kirk Out’, examines just how far a bully can push before his victim snaps. Millionaire businessman Forrester can, and does, have everything he wants, stopping at nothing to achieve his objectives. But as his greed and empire grow, an unlikely alliance between a casualty from one of his take-overs and his systems administrator brings his vulnerability sharply into focus.
‘Sailing in the Christina’, looks at different relationships - friends, lovers, neighbours, colleagues – and the events that can move them onto another level. From the trivial to the earth-shattering, they prove that indeed no man is an island.
Each tale is multi-layered and features a memorable cast of characters – from the ‘rich bitch’ with more money than manners, to the thug turned computer whiz, redeemed by the birth of his son. All human life is here.
