England, 2007 — A Foreign Education, the debut novel by young British author Craig Alan Williamson, will be released by Exposure Publishing on 1st October 2007.

This controversial campus comedy, set at the University of Colorado, details the exploits of fictitious British exchange student Ross Cooper. Drink, drugs and sex feature heavily throughout the novel, but the author denies that he has tarnished the University’s reputation.

“These are normal college activities taking place on a normal college campus,” explains Craig. “C.U. is no different to any other University in America – the students are just as interested in getting drunk and getting laid as they are in getting a degree. I simply wanted Ross Cooper to enjoy the authentic collegiate experience.”

While Craig’s own study abroad experience may have given him the inspiration for A Foreign Education, he is keen to stress that the novel is not autobiographical. “Perhaps Ross is just the kind guy I wish I could have been,” he continues. “He is able to carry off a lack of social confidence with an endearing charm and a string of witty comebacks…and he gets all the women!”
