Thanks Susan, at least people will finally know I exist, and that I am a writer and author. Yes, my book IS coming out next year. It WILL have an ISBN and it will also be in hardback. Yes, it's a new angle, but please don't expect me to give anything away, it would only spoil the surprise. A Free Library article exists on the net, it has inaccurate quotes and content so don't take that as gospel, unless you hear it from me, ignore it. Especially the stuff that was posted on here earlier this year, about a certain Mason Doyle, who, by the way, is none other than my long deceased pet dog who I still miss!
For the record, my research has taken me from New Zealand to Canada to USA, and yes, I've interviewed and made contact with many. I lived in Essex for over a decade so know the ground very well. I'll post more about publication date closer to the time.
