‘It’s Way Out In The West!’ is a new sideways look at all things Pembrokeshire. An attempt to encapsulate the esoteric natures of the modern Pembrokeshire person and their framing ancient surrounds.

The book written by thirty-nine-year-old George Hill, a native of Penally, and former pupil at Tenby’s Greenhill School, looks at the unusual economic, sociological and mystic elements that affect the county and have proved a stubborn, but not always unwelcome constant.

George’s recent dissertation 'On the Evolution of International Law' has been published by London Metropolitan University.

“I graduated with a 'high' Distinction pass for my Master's 'Organised Crime and Global Security' at that University in July 2020,” said George.

“In the not so recent past I was employed as a songwriter by a European music publishing label and lived in Budapest. I have written more than 200 songs!

“It's Way Out In The West represents my first attempt at a non academic work and hopefully reads more like a novel,” he continued.

A nonlinear journey with disparate chapter themes somehow managing, like a ‘magic eye’ to come together as the reader progresses - ‘Its Way Out In The West!’ contains themes involving ancient magic and spirituality, corrupt Pembrokeshire councils, bizarre Pembrokeshire weather phenomena, lost pubs and nightclubs, local ghosts, alluring mermaids and modern smartphone online dating!

All these subjects and more in the book help join the dots and paint a cultural as well as a natural picture of the past and present county.

'Its Way Out In The West!' is available on Kindle now and Audiobook from May 30.

It will also available in paperback at Cofion books on Tenby’s Bridge Street from June 30.

“The book is so refreshing to read - it made me laugh and ponder. Should cause reaction in certain circles which is what a good book does!” said Albie Smosarski owner of Cofion.
