Thank you very much Sally. I think based on everything people have said here, and the fact that I came within a gnat’s hair of not publishing this post, I really do need to give myself a talking to when it comes to self-promotion on Medium.
I’m going to do what I didn’t do in the post, and leave a few links for you, since you directly said you’d look at them. :)
Here’s my Amazon profile, so you can browse the novels I currently have available.
Since you mention local history, here’s a piece on my blog about certain novels inspired by local history.
Finally, here’s a link to the opening chapters of the two novels I have on Medium. Spectre of Springwell Forest can be found here, and Peaceful Quiet Lives can be found here (links take you to chapter one, but at the end there is a link to chapter two, and so on, until you get to chapter six, at which point you’ll have to pick up a copy if you want to read on). :)
