James Lovegrove biography
James Lovegrove is the author of several acclaimed novels and books for children. Born on Christmas Eve 1965 a short story of his won a college competition. The prize was £15, and it had cost £18 to get the story professionally typed. This taught him a hard but necessary lesson in the harsh economic realities of a literary career.
Straight after graduating from Oxford with a degree in English Literature, James set himself the goal of getting a novel written and sold within two years. In the event, it took two months. The Hope was completed in six weeks and accepted by Macmillan a fortnight later. The seed for the idea for the novel - a world in microcosm on an ocean liner - was planted during a cross-Channel ferry journey.
James blew his modest advance for The Hope on a round-the-world trip which took him to, among other places, Thailand. His experiences there, particularly what he witnessed of the sex industry in Bangkok, provided much of the inspiration for The Foreigners.

The James Lovegrove Collection, Volume One: Days and United Kingdom: Days and United Kingdom
Days is about the day in the life of a super-mega-store in Britain, and the type of people that inhabit and visit it. Lots of peculiar stuff goes on, like, a security guard who can't see his reflection, a couple who saved up for...breaking their budget in the process...and received the very basic store card. Flash sales that end up in all out hand to hand combat and board members , who sit in their Ivory boardroom, who care more about the days figures than the lives it wrecks in the process.
Written with an unusual flare, this story I found very entertaining and thought provoking.
Untied Kingdom is the post -economic apocalyptic story of a man who goes looking for his wife after she's kidnapped by gangs. He wonders why he's doing it, when their marriage had been off the boil, and the wife can't decide if she wants to go back.
Lots of adventuring to and from occur, some very weird and dangerous people are met alo
