interested in my subject material?
My novel addresses some challenging issues and paints some interesting imagery of contemporary life in rural North Devon. I hope it has whetted your appetite and you want to learn more.
I have listed below links to websites that can help you start this journey. It is a list that I expect to evolve, perhaps with your suggestions.
