"we are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well
that death will tremble to take us" - Charles bukowski
about me...My name is Gordon Connolly an aged fifteen, I started The BlueBerry Press from my bedroom and went on to expand the group to include BlueBerry Publishing and Leaflets in Print. I then went on to purchase several cinemas with a view to forming a cinema chain but an opportunity in California took me to Los Angeles for a decade in hotel management. On returning to London I managed two of the cities most established cabaret bars. More recently, I divide my time between writing novels, poems & scripts. |
