Synopsis

The George Files is a twelve-book literary series chronicling the life of a British gay expatriate navigating desire, ambition, intimacy, and displacement abroad.

Beginning with George's arrival in New York City, the series follows his gradual immersion into a new world: Bowery apartments, Williamsburg mornings, corporate offices, gyms, bars, bedrooms, and the quiet private spaces where meaning is negotiated. Each volume captures a distinct phase of expat life - arrival, excess, connection, boredom, attachment, alienation, and reckoning.

Rather than following a conventional romantic arc, The George Files examines how modern gay men construct lives across borders: how sex functions as language, how intimacy becomes provisional, and how identity shifts when class, accent, and cultural expectation no longer align.

Sex is present, explicit, and unsentimental - not as spectacle, but as a lived fact. Relationships form and dissolve. Careers advance and stall. Cities shape behaviour. Loneliness reappears in different forms.

Written in a reflective, observational style, the series is less concerned with finding permanence than with understanding what it means to belong - to a city, to another person, and to oneself - when home is no longer fixed.

The George Files is a study of movement, masculinity, modern gay life, and the uneasy freedom of starting over.

À propos de l?auteur

As a former rower, ultra-marathon runner, and cyclist, I try to bring both real and imagined experiences to life, drawing readers into a world that not everyone gets to be part of or understand.For me, rowing isn't just a sport; it's a lifestyle and a world of its own, one that can be hard to access. I lived in London for ten years along the River Thames and was a member of several boat clubs during my time on the water.I like to tell stories about relationships, friendships, and groups of people who find themselves falling in love, spending time together, and building bonds that last for decades. Some parts are imagined, and I've changed details-such as rowing clubs and names-but many of the experiences are real.Not all of my days were fueled by champagne at fancy bars; I also worked in the non-profit sector while completing my master's degree. It was a busy period of my life, but London proved to be more welcoming and varied than anyone could imagine.Enjoy my work. Enjoy my world!
