My name is Chris Wade, I am a Leeds based writer.
I run Wisdom Twins Books, edit Hound Dawg Magazine and write fiction and non fiction as well as illustrate books.
My new title which I am really proud of is Cutey and the Sofaguard, the audiobook which is read by comedy legend Rik Mayall.
If anyone is interested in learning about this surreal novel I have a few things attached here to spread info on it.
Here is a chat between Rik and I regarding the audiobook:

WISDOM TWINS BOOKS RELEASES AUDIO BOOK CUTEY AND THE
SOFAGUARD, READ BY COMEDY LEGEND RIK MAYALL AND WRITTEN BY

Chris Wade’s surreal and tragic tale of lost love and broken elevators has been brought to life by British legend Rik Mayall, one of the UK’s most popular comedians. The audio book sets out to cover new ground in the literary world, challenging the conventions of storytelling and the use of the English language. A breath of fresh air amidst today’s predictable literature.
The hilarious, disturbing adventure sends the listener into the most unexpected areas of the surreal and is full of surprises, as Rik Mayall brings the twisted tale to life with his energetic versatility. For fans of Rik Mayall this will be a treat, as he has plenty of room to make outstanding and genuinely funny characterizations throughout the book. The anarchic feel of the tale is very fitting to the alternative comedy icon’s career, like a cross breed of his famed Jackanory appearance and the classic sitcom Young Ones. The star of countless classic comedies including Bottom, The Comic Strip Presents, The New Statesman and Drop Dead Fred, Rik Mayall is among the finest comic actors our country has ever produced. Chris Wade is the author. He started Wisdom Twins Books in the middle of 2009 who formerly released a free monthly magazine called Hound Dawg, which he also wrote for and edited. His previous books include the retrospective Malcolm McDowell: On Screen and Hugh Cornwell: The Hoover Dam Companion, all about the former Stranglers singer’s latest album, a title which was sold on the veteran punk’s November 2009 UK tour. There is also the co written, The Wax Memory short story collection with Shawn Dimery. Cutey and the Sofaguard is Wade’s first trip into the audio book.
The audio book is not only very funny, but also deeply thought provoking and open to much interpretation, combining the lunacy of Rik’s finest work and the most unexpected moments of sadness. It will be available as a download from an exclusive Wisdom Twins Books store, I Tunes and Amazon MP3.
