It deals with a young 16 year old apprentice moror mechanic, Johnnie, who discovers the skinhead culture and goes on to prostitute himself, gets jailed for 18 months, escapes parole and heads to Australia, survives a fridgid swim to safety and now is on the run from Australian police. Now 22 he has teamed up with Skull his lover, and Joe a prevoius lover and Joe's lover Brains an ex Melbourne wharfie.
Johnnie has gone from inocence to prostitution, to GBH to murder and there is still book 5 to come. He is not scared of a fight and always fights dirty like all skinheads should. Johnnie is all skinhead, gay and proud. He works the prawn trawlers up in the Gulf to try and stay away from city police and with his traveling companions, have bought a small trawler of their own for the off season and called it 'Skin Fisher'.
Phillip Lesbirel has also written other skinhead books, 'Matter of Honour', 'Fighting Dog' and Daniel. 'Life's Journey' will be combined into one book when book 5 is completed and published. Look for this book in about 3 months.
Welcome to my blog. I am a gay skinhead and a SHARP. I am also an author of skinhead books and my favorite author is Richard Allen, and no I don't style my writings after his books. My characters are as real as I can make them in my mind and all my books try to show my feelings against racial, sexual and religious hate. Being a skinhead is not just being a lout although that does help in a fight, but upholding a creed and brotherhood established by working class youth in the late 60's.

New skinhead books
There is a new skinhead book now published by Phillip Lesbirel called 'Life's Journey'. It is a series and 3 books have now been published with a promised 4th shortly.
The storyline is of a young 16 year old youth who discovers the skinhead way of life, its gay love and fetishes. Johnnie is a tough, street wise kid and ends up being jailed for assault. On release from prison, he decides he needs to leave England and head to a country where he can start again, but his prison record will not allow him to move legally so he buys a new identity and signs on to a freighter bound for Australia.
In Cape Town he meets with Joe, an orphaned dockside worker and Joe stows away on board ship when it leaves port. Johnnie falls for Joe and they decide to jump ship in Melbourne, but their plans are thwarted by the ship's Captain and as they are heading into Port Philip Bay, a police tender comes aside the ship. Johnnie and Joe jump overboard. Book 3 ends with our wandering if they survived, but with the announcement of book 4, we have to believe they did.
Books 1, 2 and 3 have a great story. Set in the late 60's at the start of the skinhead culture, it does discuss some of the more bazaar fetishes known to the gay world at that time. It also deals with the rivalry of the skinhead gangs or crews of the time. I loved all 3 books, can't wait for book 4.
