| Introduction | Hello, I’m Budge Burgess and I explore the politics and personal consequences of human change. I'm Scottish, a former Probation Officer with over a quarter of a century of experience helping people change their lives. I'm now a full-time writer - fiction and non-fiction - engaged in writing a quartet of science fiction novels, developing a trilogy of crime novels, and producing short stories in various genres. I'm also working on a book about change ("The Stories You Don't Write"), although quite why I want to publish it is a question I keep asking myself. My website is a shop window for my work, acting as gateway to a series of blogs and my online apocalyptic novel, "Like Fleas on a Dog's Back". Visit my website for further details - www.budgeburgess.com - and feel free to contact me. |
| Interests | My interests are chaotic: I disposed of my TV some time around 2004 - I watch crime drama and a range of films on my computer. I once kept abreast of rugby, football and cricket, but, apart from watching the odd game, rarely follow sport. I read - mainly non-fiction, the emphasis being on history, social sciences and natural sciences, politics and economics ... though I'm not as boring as that may sound. I write. I enjoy real ale and good company down the pub. I listen to radio drama and a range of music programmes. I walk on the beach, spend time looking at the sea, and daydream. And, once upon a time I was a reasonable cook ... but the stresses of raising (and cooking for) two daughters, one of whom decided she was a vegetarian, aged 6, kinda killed that interest. And you can find out more at the website. |
| Favorite movies | Rashomon, All Quiet on the Western Front, Lord of the Rings, Casablanca, 24 Eyes, Amelie, and many, many more. In terms of TV - it's Red Dwarf, Game of Thrones, BBC Dickens' adaptations, Dr.Who, and any really good drama, comedy or science / history. |
| Favorite music | Bach, Beethoven, Beatles, Blues, Jack Bruce, bagpipes, boogie woogie, and that's just some of the B's. |
| Favorite books | Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, Down and Out in Paris and London, Lord of the Rings ... and, at some stage I'll get round to discussing a full list on the website. |
Unlike a dog, how can a turtle ever be naked?
You've obviously never watched Eastern European porn.
