In Cities Of The Dead, pop-culture writer Si?n Smith embraces what remains of the spirit of Jack Kerouac as he wanders through seven landmark cities in search of coffee, culture and adventure.From Florence to New York, Paris to Warsaw, he digs up the road less travelled and finds?amongst many other curios?a mermaid who has been assaulted more times than she deserves, a rock star with a stolen head and a corporate accountant on a desperate quest to forget his wife. The result is a collection of lucid essays that reveal a world distracted by the noise of its own making in which few take the time to see what is actually happening beneath their nose. Written during various trips around the globe, Cities of the Dead is hard-boiled travel writing for anybody who never wanted to read a guide book in the first place.

The Family Of Noise is the story of Dylan Thomas Owen and his perilous journey to adulthood through the 1970s and 1980s. As Dylan navigates his way through the world, he falls in love with words, music and a Swedish pop princess but with his only soulmate being his idiosyncratic grandfather, lessons in love from adults of questionable maturity prove to be confusing when it comes to finding the real thing.The Family of Noise is a coming of age story about a dreamer looking for love in all the wrong places, with his head in the sky and his feet nowhere near the ground.Si?n Smith is the author of several books including The Day The Sky Fell Down, Cities Of The Dead, Black Dye White Noise, and numerous short stories. He was once described as ?Byronesque?, which is probably the nicest thing anybody has ever said about him. If you happen to meet, he likes to talk over coffee about books, music, travel and monster movies.
