Writing
A bitter bankside rivalry resolved by the discovery of a shocking secret; a mysterious creature that seems to lurk at the bottom of a Welsh garden pond; the trail camera set for poachers that captures erotic scenes by moonlight... These tantalising tales explore the unexpected side of fishing, particularly after dark when the river’s enchantment fades into the shadows. A compulsive read for anglers and non-anglers alike.

“…his writing is infused with details that help create believable characters we can relate to, and like the Welsh pond, there is hidden depth… each are believable in a familiar, human way, as though they’re people we might have met, at the football, down the pub, or on the bank. His attention to detail and his skill at storytelling continually struck a chord as I realised there that some characters reminded me of people I knew, or worse still, reminded me of me.”
“At 223 pages, this is an easily digestible, thoroughly enjoyable read, crafted by a writer who understands that the correct words can do the hard yards. When I spoke with Harrison, he said that the book had found success with many non-anglers and I can see why. It is a keen-eyed cross section of British society, with angling at its core, and showcases the author’s ability to show relevance and beauty in the small details.”
“Central to any book or magazine is high standards, because that is what people should get for their hard-earned cash. So, it’s with great pleasure that this charming book is showcasing a writer who evidently feels that his readers shouldn’t be short changed and has produced a book that is well worth the money, and that the angling universe has found a new and original voice.”

From the riotous trauma of the town's darkest hours in 1919 to the tribulations at one of the UK's first salsa clubs, these stories explore the lives of Lutonians past and present. This is an eclectic look at a much-maligned corner of Bedfordshire, with themes of travel, protest and identity. While some Lutonians have left and returned, eccentric Walter Greer remains embedded in his town of petrol and lace, searching for 'Snuff and Temperance' in streets where excess and piety co-exists amongst the hyper-diversity of twenty-first century Britain.
