About the Book

''A compelling exploration of human resilience in the face of adversity.'' - Demetria Head

Breaking free of isolation-induced coercion's no breeze.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Up in the mountains of Bethesda, North Wales, fifty-year-old football referee Colin Tudur has endured a pitiful, people-pleasing existence. Finally chasing his dream, he quits his steady job as a bin-man and commits to full-time training, one day dreaming of reffing on S4C.

Such selfishness far from serves his parasitic, coercive wife Clare and stepson Dale, who have both long grown dependent on his salary. Now thwarted in his pursuit of freedom by North Wales' second-home owner induced housing shortage, twenty-year-old Dale's forced to wallow in the family's toxic, co-dependent bubble.

Hard hitting and fiercely raw, Ogwen Blues charts their plight to thrive in an area starved of adequate opportunities.

''Ogwen Blues is another fast, authentic blast through the squalid wastelands of North Wales and provides additional layers of veneer to Veck's maturity as a writer. Highly recommended.'' - https: //www.roseauburn.com/post/ogwen-blues

''Brutal, shocking, eye-openingly stark, unforgiving and gives a very raw look at a life most would run a mile from. I do love this author's opposition to the norms in writing a family drama and daring to be so visceral.'' - Mark Fearn - https: //www.goodreads.com/review/show/5556505333

''Not for the easily triggered by Drug Use and the wild untamed language of the locals. If you however enjoy a dirty, raw and real storyteller, Veck is your guy.'' - Stuart BRKN Johns - https: //www.goodreads.com/review/show/5744505670

''George Veck's writing is sharp, unflinching, and deeply empathetic. He invites readers to confront the dark corners of human nature and consider the weight of choices made when one's back is against the wall. This novel is an emotional rollercoaster that leaves a lasting impact, making it a must-read for those who appreciate powerful storytelling and complex characters. George Veck has delivered a literary gem that will linger in your thoughts long after you've turned the final page.'' -- Demetria Head - https: //alookinsidebookreviews.blogspot.com/2023/11/a-review-of-ogwen-blues-by-george-veck.html

''George Veck manages to capture the world of drugs and the misgivings that comes along with it all perfectly. The language used and the misfortunes that come along with drug dealing, is portrayed almost to the letter. Once again a great read!'' - Cassandra Doon - https: //www.goodreads.com/review/show/5553435186
