If anybody is in Wigan on Saturday morning (23rd November), call into the WH Smith store. I will be in there from 10.30 signing copies of my latest novel "Three Good Years". This has a background of work, family life, saving the NHS and Rugby League and is set between 2006 and 2008 in my local fictional town of Ashurst.
The main characters are the draughtsman Alan Greenall and his Welsh wife the orphan Thelma who are both keen Saints fans.
Just a pity I can't do a book signing in St Helens now though. In the past there was WH Smith and Wardleworths where I have done book signings before. Sadly they are no longer there and there appears to be nowhere else suitable.
Among the chapter titles are
The Jehovah's Widnes
Minnie Cotton versus Dewsbury
Lord Beeching has been beaten before (Shaw Street in 1962, anyone remember)
Telling Stevo about Uno's Dabs
The Church of the Everyday Saints
"The Dream"
"Your mother grew up in Tiger Bay"
The lady from Sint-Jans-Molenbeek
He's in St Helens Hospital
CID are now involved
