Sulphated Dreams

Sulphated Dreams is a novel set in Manchester, England in the winter and spring of 1987.

It is the story of Mick Russellton, a music journalist who one night meets two very different woman. Terry, one time Teresa, an outgoing if unemployed actress and Julia, an intriguing photographer. After a fling with Terry Mick starts an affair with Julia which ultimately leads to his downfall, as Julia is the partner of the man who is trying to buy the paper Mick writes for.
