After serving in both Vietnam and The Falklands due to his Anglo-American heritage, AJ Vincent (or Shades to his friends) landed his dream job working as Phil Collins' roadie. Sadly, one fateful night on tour AJ was hit by a neon lightning bolt that transported him from 1985 to 2015. Now alone and confused in a world without r-rated action movies, padded shoulders or easily obtainable cocaine he attempts to write fiction which reminds him of the good old days.
