About the Author: Russell Thoburn
Russell Thoburn was born minutes away from Scotland and a few miles from the stunning Lake District, in Carlisle, Cumbria. When not travelling with his laptop, East London is his home. His art has been bought by diamond dealers in The Netherlands, interior designers in Italy and profiled by the Daily Star and Sunday Times. Elsewhere, he's made pies and fish cakes for Marks and Spencers, cat food for Nestle, and spent over £10,000 on personal growth workshops. Thoburn's previously written for Cosmopolitan magazine and the New Statesman. Dip in the Wick, is his account of life in Hackney Wick, thinly disguised as fiction.

Mars has met Venus, they're eating, praying, loving AND... living in a warehouse in Hackney Wick, London. Malcolm Norman marvels in the mundane and finds magic in the moment. Here, his life unravels amongst the pages - a life of exes, prostitutes, women wrestlers, VIP parties, trips to the cock clinic, hypnosis by TV star, wheat-free quests, and his manifestation of the perfect playmate - Hilda Pemberton, a hospital clown from the home counties. But tension is brewing in Olympicland. Rent is increasing, misfits are being replaced by trustafarians, and Malcolm is struggling to accept his partner's restlessness and need to try everything. When Hilda declares she's not spending another winter in the Wick and has Thailand firmly in her sights, this not-so-young Young British Artist must work out if it's the Wick warehouse or really him she's leaving... Set in Europe's largest artists' quarter and based on real events, Dip in the Wick reveals the moments that maketh a misfit, and how we're all just trying to fit in... somewhere.
