Howard Sounes began his career as a newspaper journalist as a staff reporter for the Sunday Mirror. He broke major stories concerning one of the most notorious murder cases in British criminal history, that of Fred West and Rosemary West. Sounes reported that the house at 25 Cromwell Street Gloucester was the grave site of nine young women, with more victims nearby. He went on to report the case for the Sunday and Daily Mirror, and at the conclusion of the trial he published his book Fred & Rose which went on to be one of the most widely read true crime books in recent history.
Sounes' interests however were far broader and cultural and he turned his attention to writing the biography of American poet, novelist and short-story writer Charles Bukowski becoming so engrossed in the subject that he resigned his position with his paper to devote himself to the project.
Charles Bukowski: Locked in the Arms of a Crazy Life was published in 1998, by Grove Press in the USA and Canongate in the UK, and is the classic biography of the writer. Sounes also wrote a companion book in 2000 called Bukowski in Pictures. He breaks much new biographical ground in these books, and was able to publish the first known photo of Bukowski's lover and muse Jane Cooney Baker.

"It's generally popular with the public to think of Bob Dylan as the '60s folk hero,"
"They like him for the simplest of reasons: One of them said to me, 'Because he's funny,'"
"Bob Dylan at 60 is the same as Bob Dylan at 16. He's a loner, ... He's secretive. He's a man who's very funny, witty and playful, and at the same time he's very serious and traditional. And at the same time he has this flare for being unorthodox and iconoclastic and wayward. But he always was."
It hurts so nice I told you once I told you twice, You slapped my face and Threw the rice, The storm was wild but you went out and ain't back yet, I Bet you're wet and now it's late and life's a great big surprise. It hurts So nice. It hurts so good I knew it could, Too many nights love was polite not hard Or deep, Put me to sleep, I dreamed of you all painted blue and doing this And it came true, You are so crude. It hurts so good. It hurts so much, your muscle touch my this and that your such and such, Help me up off the floor, No, Push me down once more, It feels so good you Leave me limp, Don't get married to that wimp. It hurts so much. Life is brief but not too short I miss the way you scream and snort, The Other girls are too soft, They want romance in a loft, You and me we're From the woods and we make it hurt so good, Come back baby, We suffice, I'm
