At last! My new novel, A Particular Man, is about to come out. Publication date: 13th June. It’s been a long haul since the demise of my former publisher, but we’ve got here. Bloodhound are not only publishing A Particular Man, but also reissuing Blasted Things in September. I’m delighted as, while both volumes are free-standing, they do share some connections. Clem from Blasted Things appears twenty years older and wiser (or possibly not the latter!) in A Particular Man, as does one of her children. This novel is set in the aftermath of World War 2, when people are recovering from their losses and forging a new life out of what’s left of the old. It’s a book about love, marriage, sex, sexuality, grief and survival in 40’s Britain.
