VOICES OF BRENTWOOD - REPRINT

I had intended to post news of the revamp of my first book published in 2001 entitled BRENTWOOD VOICES, which, as you see, has a new name and a new cover. Some of my six other books have received the same treatment - I am pleased to say. However, this one is rather special. I have just received the sad news that George Liddiard who, with his late wife Muriel, were so helpful in supplying information for my book, has died. His mother-in-law, Florence - who was almost 106 when she died - is on the front page (in that lovely white hat!) and there are plenty of images of Florence and old Brentwood within its pages. So you see a sixteen-year-old Florence on the front cover and then when she was coming up to her 106th birthday - what a privilege to meet, photograph and record such a wonderful lady!

REVAMPING

For any writer, it is great when their older books are re-published and this has happened this week with the revamping of my 2001 published book BRENTWOOD VOICES. I interviewed more than 100 people who had some wonderful anecdotes and memories of this busy Essex town. Now it has been revamped with new book cover back and front, new name VOICES OF BRENTWOOD and, delightfully, a new readership. My book £12.99 can be purchased via Amazon and also, of course, from most bookshops who can order it, if not on the shelves.
