A woman's health is the extreme pro-choice position. Did you hear how McCain said "health," with a sneer. Think about that.

The War Zone
The new, updated and fully revised 20th Anniversary Edition of my novel, The War Zone (written under my original/professional name, Alexander Stuart), is now available on Amazon Kindle for $9.99, and as a regular book from Amazon, BarnesandNoble.com and other bookstores.
A dark, ironic, emotionally-charged novel about incest, adolescent fury and parental morality, the novel won Britain's prestigious Whitbread Prize for Best Novel (now the Costa Book Awards) when it was first published, only to have the prize snatched away amid much public controversy when one of the judges politicked behind the scenes.
Dubbed a contemporary Catcher in the Rye by Time Out magazine, The War Zone was turned into a powerful, multi-award-winning film by Oscar-nominated actor-director, Tim Roth, which premiered at Sundance and went on to attract great acclaim at film festivals around the world. (The film can be streamed from Netflix and is available on DVD through Amazon.)
The new 20th Anniversary Edition is fully revised and updated and includes both the original British and American opening chapters, as well as an Afterword by Tim Roth, my diary of the making of the film, and an introduction that includes the striking prepublication letter that Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork Orange, sent me, along with his cover quote:
"This is a pungent shocking book, superbly written (sharp, sensuous, bitter) which...presents the theme of incest...as a symbol of social breakdown. I was horrified but seduced from first to last. The writing is remarkable."
