Novel

I have tentatively started writing a novel.

It's the story of a secret agent/elite commando special operative for an organisation that specialises in stealth assassinations and takedowns of Splinter cells and terrorist organisations.

He is a highly trained warrior.

He was recruited after accidentally stumbling upon the organisation whilst looking for his kidnapped ex girlfriend.

His favourite weapons are the AK47/Kalashnikov, Bazookas, Machetes. Occasionally he likes to use his butterfly knives and his shotgun which he calls Lucy.

He drives an old red Ford Escort.

He has many sexual conquests [Over 80] but doesn't like commitment of any sort.

He is very vain and self absorbed and is at times very selfish and self centred; this is something he is trying to work on by reading Eckhart Tolle, works of Sri Nisargadatta and eastern philosophy.

He was raised as a strong catholic and used to be an altar boy until the age of 16, but now he prefers to study taoism.

His favourite book is Atlas Shrugged and he will occasionally quote Ayn Rand who he is a big fan of, and various other literary classics which he will read whilst at home or travelling between assignments.

He also likes sci-fi books such as The Hitchikers guide to the galaxy, Dune, and he wants to read Lord of the Flies and the Lord of the rings series at some point. He would like one day to write his own novel of this nature.

He is very interested in philosophy from times of old.

He has very few friends but many aquaintances.

His favourite drink is Vodka and soda for his abs. He disdains lager, but will drink it on occasion.

He works out every morning he isn't on assignment.

He always dreamed of being a professional wrestler and is an avid fan of Bret 'Hitman' Hart and various other wrestlers from the 1930's to the early 1990's which he considers ''wrestlings golden period.'' He frequently purchases wrestling videos off the internet. He is getting into Mexican wrestling and Japanese wrestling.

He is a smoker, but has cut down for six months so he can improve his fitness and one day fulfill his dream of becoming a professional wrestler.

His favourite food is chicken and quorn burgers.

He is an avid watcher of all of the Star Trek series, except Enterprise with that guy from Quantum Leap. He also likes Doctor Who and all kinds of classic sci-fi, he finds most of the new stuff ''tediously shit.''




He likes aeroplanes.

He likes water very much, but only swims on occasion.

He has a tenuous relationship with his parents who don't understand his lifestyle. He has a good relationship with his grandmother, and always has, she used to teach him catechism and encourage him to read from when he was a very young chabby.

He likes modern art and likes to go to the art museum to look at the work. He admits he doesn't know very much about art so therefore doesn't criticise the work. His only complaints on the topic are that he sometimes finds the curation at his favourite art gallery somewhat poor.

He likes to listen to 80's music, movie soundtracks and love songs which he finds relaxing as this is antipodean to the nature of his work.

He is the antithesis of Action Man.

That's all for now.
