Was Thatcher a Patient?

Who Are the Real Patients in The Pimlico Tapes?

Plenty of people have asked me this question since I wrote the book. I found it quite amusing but quite natural that people were interested. Some readers thought they recognised one of the characters. One was sure a character was based upon them! Several characters do seem very like a well known TV presenter or other celebrity. If these people were who people think they are, do you think I would admit it? Exactly!

It quite clearly states in the introduction to the book that the names have been changed. There is also a statement on the publisher page, assuring readers that any similarity in the characters in the book to people living or dead is purely coincidental.

Today I found myself in a locked basement, trying to explain the above to a certain group of rather forceful gentlemen who were suggesting I might like to take the book off the market – pronto! And what was it they found so worrying, I asked. It  transpired, someone had assured them that one of the characters was in fact based upon a certain ex-British Prime Minister – "the same lady we know and admire in all but name," they said.
I told them there was no way of knowing this since it was a matter of public knowledge that the lady in questing had met her end at the Ritz last week. I felt inclined to comment that there must be a good storyline there too, but I held my tongue.

One interesting thing came out of this interview though. These gentlemen, unintentionally or otherwise, let slip the name of the therapist in the book. Clearly they had done their homework. Better than I had in fact, but then they have greater powers at their disposal. They may have been hoping to ascertain whether or not I knew his name, which I didn't.  In fact I was never completely sure until today that he existed. He might have been an actor. In which case, might the female character (I will not say which one) who had caused me to be detained in a basement not in fact be the very same lady who these gentlemen felt such admiration for? It is impossible for me to say.
"How could I know?" I asked.
"Where are the tapes, Mr Anders?" The small nasty one replied.
"I burned them after I had transcribed them, of course," I said, "after I had given them new identities. It seemed the decent thing to do."

Unlike a certain Mr Assange, I was let go this same evening. They would be watching me and might want to ask me more questions, they said. Oh and I might want to avoid mentioning this to anyone! They picked the wrong man. As any of my friends would have told them, I just can't keep a secret.

Are You a Sexual Voyeur?

The Sexual Voyeur

For most of us in the western world, it conjures up images of a man in a dirty macintosh, hanging around in seedy cinemas by night or lurking behind trees in the park. But in truth, are we not all voyeurs of a type. Most adults or adolescents would indulge in sexual voyeurism, would they not?  Imagine yourself on a train at night, stopped on the line waiting on a signal out in the wilds somewhere, alone in a carriage. Another train pulls alongside and you find yourself looking into a sleeper carriage. A woman is lifting a suitcase onto the overhead rack. A man comes into view and slips in behind her, lifting her dress and fondling her thighs. Running his hands over her lace trimmed underwear. She turns and smiles seductively. He removes her knickers . She raises her bottom towards him. In the dark of your carriage you can't be seen. At this point are you going to draw the curtains? Might you have done so at the first hint of intimacy between them? Of course not. We are all fascinated by what others do in the bedroom and more-so what they might get up to in a sleeper-carriage. It is human nature. Imagine if we could hear such experiences described by those with sexual problems in consultation with their sex-therapist. How fascinating that would be. Imagine no longer, now that AK. Anders has published The Pimlico Tapes. Download the book now or read a sample on Amazon.

The Pimlico Tapes - FREE TILL MONDAY!

The Pimlico Tapes - An enlivening revelation, and compulsive reading

A.K. Anders shocking new book is FREE until the early hours of Monday 18th March.

The book has been described thus: "Anders has activated a literary time-bomb. Many will be shocked by what goes on behind the curtains of staid English people, who on the surface appear to be conservative and restrained. It is refreshing. An enlivening revelation, and compulsive reading."

The book is a set of transcripts of sex-therapy sessions recorded by the therapist back in the 1970's and 80's. The therapist, a likeable older gentleman, requires his patients to be frank and open with him and it must be said, he generally succeeds. What is revealed may offend some, but nobody can fail to be fascinated. Each case is presented in a simple, matter-of fact manner of a straight transcript with the therapist sensitively encouraging his patient to tell us about their activities, their fantasies and obsessions. These revelations are undeniably arousing, but they are also instructive. Few of us could read these cases and not find similarities in our own experiences and this can be extremely helpful. Most, I would imagine, will read it for the entertainment value but this book, unlike most erotic literature, may well prove beneficial to those with little experience or with repressed sexual desires and a background of disapproval.

Book Launch - The Pimlico Tapes

A.K. Anders has launched the book 'The Pimlico Tapes'.

In 2009 the author, A.K. Anders, purchased a large property in Pimlico, South-west London, with the intention of converting the 4 storey Victorian property into flats. The building had previously been used as business premises, with an architects practice on the upper floors and a psycho-therapist in the basement. While clearing rubbish from the basement, Anders discovered an old box of audio tapes in a locked filing cabinet. Later he discovered the tapes were recordings of sexual therapy consultations. Many of these revealed intriguing case scenarios. Some patients even seemed to be well known personalities of the 70's and 80's. Anders made enquiries and found that the eminent therapist/doctor of his time had retired and since died. Publishing the transcripts was a difficult decision, Anders says, but one he felt might help others plagued by sexual problems or those with an interest in human sexual behaviour. The result is fascinating, and compulsive reading.

Anders warns, "To many, the book will be shocking. To them I say, it is life. What is sure is that for many of us, these cases are like a mirror placed in front of our own thoughts... if not deeds."
