THAT SONG
That song has made him millions over
the years. Wonder what his fans would say if they knew I wrote it?
The summer of ’67, it was, when he
was too spaced-out to sit up, let alone write a tune. He found it one day and
played it, the band loved it, and it took off. Did he give me the credit? Not
bloody likely!
He’s had four different wives since
then, all young and thin.
The old goat didn’t even recognise me
this morning, pushing the Hoover round the studio.
He’ll remember me tomorrow – I’ll make
sure of that.

Helter-Skelter is set in the first half of the 20th century, so it just qualifies as an historical novel, and is the story of Albie's search for his gypsy father after his mother abandons him at the tender age of twelve.

For those of you who read my first book, A Volcanic Race, and are eagerly anticipating the sequel, I have been working on Wolf Pack at the same time as completing Helter-Skelter.
For those of you who didn't buy AVR because you 'don't read fantasy', perhaps I can change your minds?The book is definitely NOT sci-fi, and even people who only bought it out of friendship have enjoyed reading it!
