Daniel Hallford is pleased to announce the release of his new book Tattooed Love Dogs!

 
Author Writes of a World Most Couldn't Even Fathom Exists...But It Does Exist and He Brings it to Harrowing Light.

	Tattooed Love Dogs   Daniel Hallford has worked with some of the world's most dangerous people. Tattooed Love Dogs is a collection of twelve short stories that will transport you to a place you've never been...a place that even your worst nightmares couldn't dream up. Ex-cons, drug addicts, small time drug dealers and a few innocent children inhabit this world that exists all around us...a world that is shoved aside and out of our line of vision. Strippers and burglars cavort in a realm that doesn't make sense but, nonetheless, has a logic all its own.   Difficult and sometimes poignant, these stories speak of lives in crisis and the inescapable choices made to rectify them. All of these stories are true and based on the author's experiences and characters he has met on his journey. Names and places have been changed but exist in the dark and unlit streets of the changing psyche and the inescapable profundity of the unconscious.
