After taking 10 years to publish my debut novel The Trail, I was surprised to discover I also had to sell it!
I put together a 25 date book tour, and launched at Waterstones in Manchester. Then Covid-19 struck and scuppered the rest of the book tour!
This is the story of how I tried to promote and market The Trail before, during, and post Covid-19.

I was a police officer for 15 years, starting in London and finishing as a Detective Inspector at Moss Side in Manchester. When I left the police I started writing, and have been writing ever since.
My debut novel The Trail was published in 2020, and the sequel Cold Dawn in August 2022.
I live in the Peak District with my wife, and manage our smallholding, which includes bees and an orchard.
