Loop shooter, Rick Senley, has just had a novel published called 'Moustache Man and the Deadly Whiskers.' Billed as a tragic tale of one man’s descent from a dishy fellow about town to the wretched underbelly of Victorian London, it features some of Rick's anarchic wit and his leftfield view of the modern world. His bio hints at the wry humour you can expect in his formal writing. In his own words..Rick Senley is a 36-year-old photographer and journalist who has been arrested late at night in several countries and was last year shortlisted for the Travel Photographer of the Year. He writes about prostitutes, cooking and the underworld for FHM and Loaded as well as less classy publications such as the Observer – his subjects are all-inclusive apart from landscape gardening and cars and he will take pictures of anything that will not bite him. Rick is making his film debut in this year's British gangster flick Killer Bitch for which he has written soundtrack music and has recently begun to meditate but finds it too tiring. He once tried to stop drinking by cycling to the South of Spain, has been shot at while drinking in Georgia, molested in a Turkish bath and wounded by an insect in Australia. Rick went to university in Italy, Leicester and Hungary and unsuccessfully tried to escape from a police station when working as a teacher in Greece. He can swear in Norwegian and nearly appeared on a flower-arranging programme in Brazil. He plays squash and the zither, has made two albums of ‘music’ occasionally works at the Old Bailey and resents living in London.
