Story Behind The Book

Beneath Gray Skies started as an attempt to understand the USA of the 2000s, and quickly developed into a book I really enjoyed writing. I am really happy to say that the vast majority of readers have told me that they enjoyed reading it as well. It's not intended as Great Literature, or an attempt to change anyone's life, other than to provide a few hours of fun and enjoyment.
