Northern Monkeys.
Dave Ross along with his three best mates grew up in a typical dying industrial town in the north of England. In those days, they only had one goal in their simplistic juvenile minds, to live and breathe party time.
The boys embark on the journey of a lifetime when they are forced to seek new employment when work dries up, heading south and chasing the coin so they can continue the playboy lifestyle they adore. A lifestyle which results in Dave finding himself on the wrong side of his bank manager, resulting in a mutual agreement between him and his guesthouse landlady and wealthy gym owner Sharon Goodman, where he pays his rent in the form of sexual favours. The concept soon escalates into a mutual business venture utilising Sharon’s extensive list of contacts to exploit Dave’s body to some of her affluent sexually frustrated acquaintances.
Along the way, the band of brothers find themselves in a sticky predicament with a hoard of travellers after stepping into a violent confrontation they maybe should have kept their noses out of, a situation which spirals out of control before being snubbed out permanently.
Dave enjoys the lavish lifestyle provided by his wealthy ladies until he falls head over heels for a new client, a shy young bookworm teacher who has led a sheltered life. As their relationship blooms, her father, a local businessman, takes exception to the concept of his precious daughter and the escort having become close, demonstrating these feelings through extreme violence.
Dave and his friends, old and new, become embroiled in a fight for survival, a fight for love, for friendship and their lives.

Hey there!
Just curious! I was wondering if you had any plans for making your “Northern Monkeys” novel into an audiobook.
Hi Antoin
Yes it is an option I’m considering as this isn’t the first time I’ve been asked the question. However, when it will happen I’m not sure yet but it’s definitely on the agenda.
Thanks for the question
