About One Visit
Frankie Gibbs, an unambitious adolescent on Universal Credit, wants nothing more than to keep his brother Dazzler out of the North Wales care system. Poverty isn’t Frankie’s only obstacle, as their boozing, coke-head single-parent father, Guy Gibbs, heaps misery on their lives through systematic abuse and never-ending wild parties.
Dazzler’s bright, but at just twelve years old, isn’t mentally prepared for the turmoil unfolding around him. Not least once Justin, an acquaintance from Frankie’s school days now turned drug dealer, rocks up on the scene. Such gnarly environments either make or break a kid, but where do you turn when everyone’s lights are off?
Hard-hitting and brutally authentic, One Visit goes deep inside the harrowing existence most in poverty have no choice but face.

Author Bio:
Born in southern England but brought up in north Wales, George mostly writes gritty British crime fiction and psychological drama set in rural areas.
George’s inspiration partly derives from political greed, and the plights of those who suffer as a result; whether that’s from mental health issues our criminally underfunded health system won’t treat, housing shortages, domestic abuse, or living in crippling poverty without hope.
