Have been away from this site quite a long while. My excuse was that I was spending a lot of time writing my sixth novel. Now it has just been published. It is called "Three Good Years" and has a background of "Work, Family, Saving the NHS and Rugby League". Among the chapter titles are  The Jehovah's Widnes, Lord Beeching has been beaten before,  Them bloody stupid pliers, Pissaro, Picasso and Phil's Uncle Jack, The Welsh Chamber Maid, "The Dream", The Church of the Everyday Saints, and He's in "St Helens Hospital". It is set between 2006 and 2008 in my fictional but local town of Ashurst. Available from my publisher London League Publications. Visit www.llpshop.co.uk  click on Books and then click on Fiction.
