Valhalla Victims

Caught between adolescence and adulthood when we first meet in the 1990s, Geoff has been living a somewhat sheltered upbringing with his mother and grandmother. His main interests are music and photography as we follow his desire not to give up on either. On his final day at college he falls for Geraldine, the sister of one his best friends and fellow student of design, Mike. His career and relationships become ever more complicated until he has a fateful accident...

Born in Berkshire in the United Kingdom, the writer of Valhalla Victims, Andrew Wakeford moved with his family to Brighton when he was ten years old. There he spent his formative years until going on a hitchhiking trip to Germany, where he has since been living for over 40 years. Very interested in music, but without a strong sense of rhythm, it was a pleasant surprise when his son Daniel turned out to be a gifted drummer at quite a young age. Wakeford works in advertising photography and has had several exhibitions over the years, now using the added free time that comes with a certain age to write. He has long enjoyed a flirtation with writing and music, providing German and French musicians and bands with lyrics for their compositions back in the day. This is his first fictional book, although it is his second attempt at writing one.
