Charlie Fletcher is a novelist and screenwriter. He is also the curator/creator of the new StoryMachines micro-festival at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Far Rockaway is his fourth novel and combines the big-hearted real world/magical elements of Field of Dreams with the epic swashbuckling of classic adventure novels like The Last of the Mohicans and Treasure Island. It is his love-letter to the books in his childhood that got him hooked to this whole Story thing in the first place.
