Being Someone
A lonely man falls in love and will do anything to maintain that feeling, in this tale of romance, self-discovery and the eternal search for happiness.
James has fallen through life, plotting a course of least resistance, taking each day as it comes and waiting for something to turn up, to give his existence meaning.
His journey lacks one vital element: a fellow traveller. Then he meets Lainey, an American working in London. She’s confident, beautiful, and captivating.
When James set out to win her heart, Lainey gives James a reason to grow, and promises the happy ending he has sought so keenly.
But is sharing life with another everything he hoped?
Adrian Harvey
Since escaping the East Midlands for the lights of the big city, Adrian Harvey has combined a career in and around government with trying to see as much of the world as he can. He has a particular love for cities and the patina of centuries that lie beneath their ever-changing surface. The stories that hang between the past and the future, or in a chance encounter on the city street, are a continual source of inspiration. He can often be found transfixed, staring along a street with an unexpected vista. Landscape outside the city inspires him too. He is a keen hill walker and has undertaken extended routes in the Himalaya, the Andes, and in Iceland, as well as regular trips to the damp and windy upland areas of the United Kingdom. He also enjoys warmer travel, with a particular fondness for India. He retains a relentless curiosity for the world. He lives in North London, which he believes to be the finest corner of the world's greatest city. He has written three novels: Being Someone, The Cursing Stone, and Time's Tide.
