Allan Brewer was born in 1948 in Ramsgate, on the Kent Coast. Spending his early years living in a basement flat in a large seaside hotel, where his father was the accountant, as a child he remembers 'hanging out' with telephonists, chefs and residents.

Is our Universe the Inside of a Black Hole?

The last couple of weeks has seen some interesting research and comentary on this proposal: The JWST has revealed that the vast majority of early galaxies are rotating in the same direction, whereas a random “Big Bang” would produce 50/50 directionalism – this asymmetry would be compatible with the universe being the inside of a rotating black hole. This is the “bounce” theory where all the matter

Allan Brewer liked Rymer Reads's review of Other People's Weddings: "I enjoyed the story, I just found the writing style a bit difficult to read. Like every sentence was a standalone thought. That needed its own special paragraph. Which totally disrupted the flow. "

This was Gaskell's first novel, but it's just as great as the others. She seems to always generate a good twist or problem to generate tension for the reader - in this book the denouement goes on perhaps a little too long, different from the others I ...more
