A combination of memoir and fiction

It includes a diary that I kept when I first moved to Manchester and was deciding whether or not I needed to transition completely as well as some humorous anecdotes from that period (1997-9). It also includes some stories that I wrote at the time for Cross Talk, the Northern Concord group magazine. - which are republished on this website.

I hope you’ll enjoy my ramblings.
