📖 BEHIND THE BOOK - 4
This is the bookies in Nottingham upon which Shouting The Odds is based. I sometimes worked there, so the sights, sounds and characters were never entirely invented. Today, a microbrewery stands in its place - and another small piece of old Nottingham has passed into memory ..

📖 BEHIND THE BOOK - 2
A theme running through Manvers Road Star was inspired by Ray Charles - not just his music but something deeper. Namely, his ability to adapt when circumstances in his life changed beyond his control.
Its an idea that stayed with me and found its way onto the pages of my book.
