Hanlon is blocked. It’s unusual for him, but the contemporary world is moving so quickly he finds it impossible to pin anything down. His agent is concerned, aware of the importance of maintaining momentum. The public is voracious; if their urges aren’t satisfied they swiftly move on.
In the search for a story, Hanlon starts reading through an old film script of his, hoping it might inspire him.
The screenplay takes him back to a time he’s somehow forgotten, disinterring memories he thought dead and buried.
‘Ghosts’ is a compelling tale of hidden secrets. Two narratives in one, it’s a story of a couple trying to break free from their lives, and a man trying to reconnect with the one he fears might be killing him.
Simon Fellowes began writing as a freelance music journalist for the NME. Soon after, he decided to make records instead of writing about them. As part of the duo Intaferon, and then as a solo artist Simon F, he enjoyed a decade-long career as a musician, performer and songwriter in the UK and US. Moving between New York City and Los Angeles he spent the following ten years travelling the world directing music videos and writing screenplays. He now lives in London.
He has two published novels My Name is Ferdinand and Don't Breathe the Air(Strata Books). Both feature the author's unique sardonic spin on Hollywood and the American dream.
