About the Author
P.Viktor is a 31-year-old English graduate who was born in Lancashire, but resides in Oxford. After graduating with an English Literature degree in 2001 during his three years in Liverpool, he moved to Oxford to work in publishing, and then later in higher education administration. He has recently completed a graduate conversion degree in Psychology, which was awarded by Oxford Brookes University in 2008, and hopes to combine his knowledge and skills in psychology and research with his natural flair for administration. He has lived in Oxford for almost ten years, latterly with his partner, and considers the city his natural habitat.
P.Viktor has been writing for approximately fifteen years, beginning at sixteen when he started to keep his first journal. He also wrote a vast amount of popular songs, poetry, and short stories, and has been an avid reader from childhood. This love of writing has been capitalised on over the last ten years during the numerous ups-and-downs of his twenties, and he has since published three collections of poetry, A Marriage of Sorts (2007), The Loss House (2008), and Juvenilia - Collected Poems 1998 - 2008 (2010), as well as a novel, Veneer (2007). He also currently writes articles and reviews for the music magazine Wears the Trousers (click here to read them), and was also a writer for the newly established Oxford Magazine.
In the future, P.Viktor plans to continue working part-time whilst pursuing a writing career. In the immediate future he would like to attempt a second novel and develop film scripts, as well as continue writing and publishing poetry, which he considers to be his first love. He would also like to add a dog to the family.

Print: $12.54 Download: $5.49 In his second poetry collection, P.Viktor explores the meaning of loss in all its forms; the death of someone close, the homes we leave behind, the dissolving of the past, the fallout from failed relationships, and the loss of the self. Telling the story of the last two years of the poet's life, The Loss House is a study of grief, and the power of writing to overcome it.

VeneerVeneer (book)
Print: $17.19 From the first day of his new employment, Kris Noone felt disillusioned. He found himself in the banal world of sales assistants; folding garments, selling suits, serving hostile customers. He was ill at ease with his new colleagues; the haughty women obsessed with gossip and fashion, the servile junior staff with whom he had nothing in common, the strange tailor he took weekly alterations to. But it was his tyrannical manager, Vivienne, who was determined to go to any length to model him into the perfect employee. When he resisted, he was quick to realise the terrible consequences for them all.
