The Vigilant South Shields, Thursday 18th June at 7pm.

We all look back on our formative years as young people with memories of laughter, love, sadness, desire, aspiration and friendship. If we could somehow turn the clock back and in doing so, change some elements of our past; would we be any better for it? Life throws things at us and we make decisions that will have a huge bearing on our future.

This book is a short history of a group of young men embarking on their odyssey. The narrative is set in the early 1970s, in and around South Shields. I have used fictional characters to portray individuals and I have created settings and locales to embellish the storyline. There are some true events portrayed within the book and I have changed names and places to avoid any contradictions.

The narrative conjures up a picture of young people grasping life with both hands. It is about friendship; and with that affinity, comes sadness, humour, love and tragedy. This was the 70s, a brave new world of free-thinking young people. I was grateful to be one of the eight young men who challenged the norm and lived their lives with a smile on their face. I hope you can identify with the characters in this book and how they handle the experiences they encounter.

Finally, I do hope you enjoy Nay Place Like Yem and in order to maintain a sense of progression within the book; I would encourage you to read the individual short stories in chronological order beginning with Domestic Bliss and ending with The Final Encore.
