Short Stories That All Definitely Happened
Though 2014 has passed by without so much as a sniff of any new work it has been a busy year...honest! Since April I've been working on a Noir-Comedy set in Belfast, for which I received an Independent Writer Award from the Arts Council (via NI Screen). This has gone a long way to help explain what appears, at least on the surface, to be a year of inactivity.
This forthcoming year will hopefully see the realization of months, upon months (upon months) of drafting, redrafting, scrapping, rewriting and hair pulling, as Henry Roscoe hopefully finds a home and I, a regular writing gig. That being said, in the midst of all the Noir-based antics of Fast City there has been just enough downtime to scrape together a few short stories; just enough to dare to call them a collection and to give that collection a name; Short Stories That All Definitely Happened.
If you're in any way a regular visitor or a frequent Twitter-er you've probably read at least one. Short Stories will be unleashed in 2015 (date TBC) through Venice Books, CA. A sample of stories can be founds via the links below, though some will change between now and the finished piece.
Enjoy, and Happy New Year!

Forthcoming Publication
BONE IDOL [bohn ahyd-l]
noun Chiefly North Belfast
1.
a person from the Oldpark, known as “The Bone”, with aspirations of a career in the arts or above their socio-economic station.
Following up on last year’s release of Lost Angeles, Venice Books will be publishing David Louden’s second novel Bone Idol on Thanksgiving, November 28th 2013. The sophomore follow-up to his roman á clef debut Lost Angeles is the semi-biographical tale of the author’s alter-ego Doug Morgan as he struggles to connect with his father Jack, his mother Ruth and the working class ideology of “a real job”.
From his early adventure filled days in Poleglass through to the alcohol induced haze of his early twenties Doug’s life (much like the city) is one at conflict with itself. Bone Idolis filled with humour, sex, guilt and the shameful dream of a boy wanting to create more than a family of haunted heirs.
Early readings of Bone Idol have drawn comparisons with the likes of Charles Bukowski and Brendan Behan as Louden paints a downbeat existence contrasting the magic of infinite childhood possibilities with the often grim reality of working class Belfast in the 1980’s and 90’s.
There will be a limited amount of paperback and ebook copies available in advance for review. If you are interested in reviewing Bone Idol please click [here] to contact the author. Lost Angeles is still available on Kindle and Paperback. It can be purchased [here] for U.S customers and [here] for U.K.
