About the Book

Jack Wolf is the world's biggest rock star, and he's just tried to kill himself. Refusing the 12-step programme to overcome his drug addiction, he instead tries to find the only girl he ever loved, Cath Pearson. But he has a problem. The last time he saw her was ten years previously on a beach near Bali. As he tracks down Cath through the backpackers she met on her travels, Jack learns about the lives of each of them. Each story brings him closer to Cath, but in the end he must confront a final question: did she survive that fateful year? Backpackers captures the beauty and excitement of South East Asia, and the drama of young people trying to stay sane so far away from home and everything they've ever known.
About the Author: Graeme was born in north-east England in 1972. He has lived across England and Wales, and is now settled in Surrey, near the site of the original Martian landings in War of the Worlds. He has published four books: Ayla's Journey, a dark children's tale, with illustrations by Rowan Kerek Robertson. The story follows 8-year old Ayla as she struggles to escape a bus, which is lost in fog, and the scary bus conductor. This was followed by Dark Things, a collection of dystopian short stories, which look at the effect of the recession on normal lives. It contains reader favourite "LifePlan", a near-future story where the state controls people's biology. Graeme released his first novel, the science fiction thriller Planetfall book 1: All Fall Down in early 2013. It gained 5 star reviews across different sales sites. The sequel, "Children of Fall" is in development and should be out in 2015. The book follows General Kate Leland as she races against time to discover what's buried beneath a colony on a remote desert-planet. Dreaming of making first contact, she realises to her horror that her wish might be granted, and centuries of peace might come to a violent end. This book is released under Graeme's science fiction pseudonym, astrotomato. His second novel, "Backpackers" was published in mid-2013. It follows twenty year old Cath Pearson on the run across South East Asia. As she gets further from home, she gets closer to dealing with the tragedy that put her on the road. Her tale is told through the eyes of the backpackers she meets along the way. And around all of that, the rock star she met at the start of her journey, who ten years later needs to track her down to save his own life. But the more he learns about what happened after they parted, the more he fears she may no longer be alive. Graeme recently completed a political satire, and is now working on Planetfall 2: Children of Fall.
