“When I think of being on the run I think how alive I was. When I was 15 I would sit up all night praying not to be gay. But if I hadn’t been, none of this would have happened.
“With my first book, they put on the cover that I was a boy trying to escape a secret world, but really this was the secret world to me.
“I went on this journey to find normality. I wanted the most boring, humdrum life.”
Lovely interview in the Mirror with the lovely Mikey Walsh.
I was disappointed when I found out the little cutie on the cover of Gypsy Boy On The Run wasn't Mikey, but a model.
But I've been assured he is a very handsome chap, so he's still on my potential boyfriend list.
(He hides his face not through closetry, but because he's still "on the run").
Gypsy Boy On the Run - book of the year etc etc - is out in papperbok next month.
Update: Just noticed you can still listen to this great interview with Mikey on the Radio 4 website. Enjoy!
