At last! A cure for celebrity photo opportunists.

Cheryl Cole

I’m not usually excited by the faux-glamour of celebrity that bombards Western culture on an hourly basis. I try to avoid it and have been known to look blankly at anyone who tells me about Cheryl Cole’s latest boyfriend.

Tre Holloway

I’m sure dancer Tre Holloway is a lucky guy going out with the photogenic singer who describes their relationship, movingly for some, surprizingly for others, as “genuine love.” Any why not? Good luck to them – whoever they are.

I’m not that interested in celebrity photo opportunities but this female “photobomber” is a genuine star. I hadn’t been aware of this growing anti-celebrity phenomenon until now but I’m loving it already.

Poor Cheryl and Tre – they’re so upstaged by this brilliant bomber that they might even try to keep their genuine love to themselves in future. Let’s hope so.

BLUE NOTES, STILL FRAMES

My second novel, Blue Notes, Still Frames, will be published in 2015 by Ward Wood Publishing. It begins with Joe Edevane, a Brighton street busker with surprizing powers who borrows a towel from well-heeled strangers, Alan and Rachel, for his Goth girlfriend, Victoria, and begins a chain of events that changes all of their lives.
