Authors state they have a "deep interest" in war poetry.
from authors site: This is a book about anti war poetry but North West of England Writers, Andy N (author of 'Return of Kemptown' and co author of 'A means to an End) and Nick Armbrister (author of various books) who have fused together a short collection of poetry tackling the way war affects the ordinary man.

Nick Armbrister is, by his own admission and that of his gothic black poodle called Becky Devil Snail, the finest writer/poet/author to come out of Oldham, a desolate northern ex mill town that resides on the dark side of the moon, under constant alien bombardment with different dimensional missiles. These missiles proportionally make the town either good or crap. Or both. Soon Oldham will be re-named Planet Zanussi.

Judge his work for yourself as you read it and enter his left of centre mind. He's been published since 1996 in the fanzine The Pill a poem on Alanis Morrissette, Ode to Alanis.
Followed by a poem in Poetry Today anthology Rivers and Bridges, Through my Eyes.
followed by a poem in the pagan magazine Ace of Rods, The Dark Tower.
Many more "small press" (poetry scene) publications in zines, mags and poetry collection books including Select Publications in Tilbury Essex, i had 8 or more poems in 4 or 5 books, a major break.

More promotion and publishing opportunities came when another Essex publisher, DJ Tyrer, published some of my poems in around 2000/1 and he published dozens of my work in his huge range of writing mags(Monomyth, The Supplement, Bard, Gargage, etc) my poems were on many topics. He published them until 2008 when i was putting my own range of books out containing my own work.

These books are - FADE INTO FOCUS, FOCUS INTO FADE (2006), SKEWARD IMAGES (2007) both poetry collections. Also A NATION IN FLAMES (2008) a short story collection of my stories. These books are self published on iuniverse,inc.
Also HER NAME IS HOPE - LIFE FORCE (2008) poetry, my biggest book yet with poems not in my book1 and 2, this is on lulu.com.

I've finished two more novels both are fiction and in my JUNIPER'S DAUGHTER series, these are on www.lulu.com. I did an antigun track called Mind Fright (look on youtube). Where the future leads me is anyones guess! More open mic and writing workshops are something i want to do now. In early 2012 i released JUNIPER'S DAUGHTER: FRAGMENTED WHOLE - BLACK LENSE, a poem/short story collection. This follows the 2010 JD collection WAR IS OBSOLETE.

In summer 2012 my BERLIN TOKYO WARHEARTS poem book is out, followed by many live gigs promoting it.

From mid 2012 Nick worked on a new book called THE RANTINGS OF A DAMAGED MIND with South African poet Mel Grobler. This book was released in early 2013. More 2013 projects are the alternative poetry book WOW! TATTOO MY BUTT - MORE MAD POEMS AND VERSE BY NICK and the stunning Martial Art book Shoki: The Story of Sensei Pete Ratcliff. In late 2013 and early 2014 Nick worked with poet Andy N on a joint project. This resulted in a book of anti war poetry. Nick is also putting a new collection together, under a secret pen name.

Nick also loves alternative music like His Latest Flame, The Bangles, The Gathering, 80s goth, metal, Annie van Giersbergen, Tristania and Sirenia, to name a few. His other interests include art, museums, travel, people, paganism, collecting tattoos by world class tattooists, reading, gigs, open mic slots, being outdoors, history, weapons, current affairs and life.
