This is the first of 26 posts this month, each one starting with a letter of the alphabet. There will be many exhausted
bloggers at the end of April blaming Arlee Bird who started it all three years ago. – see his blog http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/

ALBERT is a popular name in the early 20th century, which
is the time-setting for my novel Helter-Skelter.
ALBIE, my main character, is only twelve when his mother turfs him out to fend
for himself in the seaside town in North Kent where he was born.
As I blog through the Alphabet
this month, I shall also be working on what I hope will be the final draft of
Albie’s story, and I plan to give you more snippets of information from the novel as we go
along. I hope you stay with me, and if you're a new visitor to my blog, I am this delighted to meet you.
