The Rebel's Sketchbook First Professional Review!
Hi Folks
I was contacted a few months ago by a contributing editor at Pop Matters called Imran. Pop Matters is an influential online publication which offers cultural criticism on all aspects of the creative arts. I sent Imran a copy of Spark alongside some short stories which were then to be included in The Rebel’s Sketchbook. From this exchange Imran offered to review The Rebel’s Sketchbook once it was released.
Fast forward a couple of months and the review has just gone live. I am very thankful to Imran and the folks at Pop Matters for giving me some credible media exposure - something which indie authors are usually starved of.
If you’ve read The Rebel’s Sketchbook, let me know what you think of the review. Here is the link:

The good news is that I’m now technically famous so I might even get my own Wikipedia page soon – something I’ve always dreamed about. Celebrity Big Brother have already been in touch and are presently considering my application for next year’s show so things are looking up.
I'll provide you all with another update on upcoming projects soon. Meanwhile it’s time to switch on this webcam so I can start filming the crazy after-party.
Speak soon!

Cheers for your thoughts, Catfood! :-)Jason: apparently I'm not allowed to touch my own page but I can suggest to you what to write ;-D
Not a bad review, the reviewer sounds like they are a hard person to please, so yer final score must be pretty good.

I could so be your biographer. Already got the conclusion snorted.

I did read of a woman who allegedly snorted her mother's ashes when high, so I'm afraid the thought of Rupert's conclusion being snorted was a little alarming.
It's the way he wants to go... well at least that's what it states in his biography.
Is it? How splendid.I plan to live to 105, then die at the hands of a jealous husband.

Of course I didn't! And thanks for the kind words!

That's a good way to go out, Mike! :-)
If I hadn't read TRS and I read this review it would definitely make me want to read it, so from that perspective, its great. He does seem a tad too harsh at times, especially at the start but overall he makes the book sound pretty tasty. Congratulations on the rating.. thats pretty high.. well done!!!When's the party?
The party has already begun and it doesn't stop until we drop!
drop what? ecstasy? our knickers? dead?
Well, I've already done the first two so... ;-)
I've had some cherry aid. Didn't drop it though.
Disgraceful. Debauched. Depraved..and other words beginning with D
Rupert I re-posted your review to my Facebook page so I can get a contact high from your fame. Not that anyone reads my Facebook page...

First he'd mix you with...nevermind.
Jason wrote: "No no, tell us your secret recipes."G.G. Was always a gross-out-o-rama. Did you ever play that game, "Frankenstein's Cookbook", when you were a kid, where the loser had to eat whatever you mixed up in a bowl, sight unseen? Use your imagination for the worst possibilities.
and it was Keith Richards who claimed to have snorted his dead father.
Never played that game cos I never had any friends.
Congratulations on this review Rupert. Great to see your books getting the attention they deserve and it gives us all hope that Indie authors may soon be taken seriously by the mainstream. If a rebel can be the first to breakthrough, that's all the better.
Thanks, Harry.I don't know how much traction it will have, but if one of us can break through then this makes it easier for everyone else.
Good job brother. Nice to see you get some exposure for this brilliant collection. Hope you sell a shed-load off the back of it bud. you deserve to.
