Marc Nobbs: Stories

A Westmouthshire Universe Story
Lizzie and I had been married for just over a year when we moved to Westmouth after I won a promotion at work. Because we didn't know very many people in this new town, I decided to join a local Sunday League football team. At the end of the first season, we threw a barbecue party for my teammates. But neither of us knew was that our guests had unorthodox sex lives. And neither of us expected that our sex lives were about to change forever. Marc's take on a classic internet erotica trope.

When Dave Cartwright sees an ad in the local newspaper offering twenty-seven inches of Prime British Beef, it plants the seed of an idea which leads to a unique celebration his wife's upcoming fortieth birthday and a night that neither one of them will ever forget.

A Westmouthshire Universe Story

Riding home one night, the bus is so full he finds himself rubbing his erection against the arse of the girl in front with every bump in the road. He's quite embarrassed. She reacts differently.

A Westmouthshire Universe Story
This story is special to me because Claire is based on a real girl I went to school with and fancied like mad. The narrator of this story is very much me in the early part of the story. However, this story isn't what actually happened between us. Far from it. Perhaps it’s just what I wished had happened. Originally written in 1998, this version of the story is from 2004. My first attempt at a 'Romance'.

This is the story of Dylan Thomas' life as a fresher, and his struggle to find true love. Watch him fail, succeed and fail some more. This was the first novel I ever tried to write, inspired by my first year at Aberystwyth University. Written between 1997, the year after I graduated, and 2004, It's 80k+ words and 20+ chapters long although it stops pretty abruptly I'm afraid.
