The least acclaimed is 'Fishing, for Christians' (I still like it), and then there is one in-between 'The Blue Food Revolution' which is me in flat out magical realist mode and which is met with either absolute love or absolute suck-on-the-end-of-this-barrel hatred.

I have allowed my quill to blunt and my inkwell to dry while I run Night Reading (a community for independent authors with 400+ members) and Night Publishing (the associated publishing house with 50+ signed authors).

“One day someone will say to me: “Is it autobiographical?” And I shall reply: “Only the bit where I die.” To die has always been my sole ambition. Everything else is transitory." (opening line to 'Blood & Marriage')”
Tim Roux, Blood & Marriage: From Kingston-upon-Hull to the first genocide of the 20th century

“The uniformed man led him along a short corridor and turned right at an electronic display proclaiming “The new collection from Kelloggs” and portraying several variations of luminous crotchless panties.

Grandfather frowned. “Can you eat those?” he asked the man, pointing at the display.

The man grinned. “If you buy them, Sir, I am sure that you can do anything you want with them. Eat the panties, devour the contents …. This way, Sir.”
Tim Roux, The Blue Food Revolution

“One of the great books of our time. I should know; I wrote it." (apocryphal)”

Tim Roux, Dance of the Pheasodile

“My dad was a trawlerman, but only briefly – only briefly a trawlerman and only briefly my dad." (2nd para of 'Missio')”
