Collapse of The Wave: Tales from The Red Lion Part 1

Dan is down the pub. Again. All he wants is an easy life. London never quite worked out, so he has headed back home again to keep his Dad company now that his Mum has gone. Don’t worry, this all just might be bearable since his favourite pub, The Red Lion, is not only still open but very much the same as ever. So, Dan spends his time down there, resolutely collecting the stories of the people who pass through, so he can block out his own. Easy life then? Well, you can’t stop stories from happening to you, no matter how hard you try. And anyway, things never go to plan for Dan. Cheers.

Mark Fryday was born in Sunderland in 1970 and grew up in the North East of England. Despite having been in a largely unknown band, 3am Decision, and having worked in various guises in the legal sector, Mark has always maintained a love of the English pub and the written word. Collapse of the Wave is the natural result of such a love, and is his first novel.
