301 Bedsit Land – out now – Kindle Version

Many moons ago I wrote this novel, called Danny’s Story, about a house on Green Lanes in Manor House in the sixties/early 70s. It was a big old rambly place full of bedsits, teeming with characters.

I knew there was a novel in there screaming to come out. So I wrote one.

The setting was the old house and all I had to do was provide a plot and adapt the characters who lived there. It was so full of colour, events and rich in stories.

I was never happy with what I had written. I did not think it did justice to the place or people so I have rewritten it. I think this is a major improvement. I didn’t like the title either so I changed it. In many ways it is a homage to the people and times. But it is also a novel. I hope you like it. Here is the kiindle version. The paperback and hardback will follow in a few days!! Enjoy!!

Danny’s Story – the update.

IMG_0556

I finally completed Danny’s Story last night. It is only 125 pages long and wades in at only 46,000 words. There are 72 chapters – each one an anecdote of sorts.

It is really a novella at the moment. After I have rewritten it we will see what it is like. I usually add some. I have written it very fast so there will be parts that need addressing.

I was told last night that the title is wrong. The suggestion is that it should be changed from ‘Danny’s Story’ to ‘301 Green Lanes’.

What do you think?
