This is my extract from
Silicone and Stretchmarks which is still a work inprogress but hopefully ready for release later this year:
Jonas was giving me teenage torment. Only last week, when vacuuming his room,I'd found a magazine under his desk. Ithad been full of naked women. Taking a markerpen, I'd drawn dresses and swimsuits on all the busty ladies. Sensible ones too. No plunging necklines or high-cut legs. Accessories followed – Harry Potterspectacles, one or two blacked out teeth and some handlebar moustaches. And then I'd carefully returned the magazine underthe desk. Jonas hadn't said anything. And neither had I. But I knew that he knew that I knew that heknew and I knew that he knew it too.
