Just published. Now available from any amazon store as Kindle or Paperback, or as an iBook. This is a prequel to the Dart Travis “Sixties Series” set in 1966, so perhaps the best place to start the series. The paperback copies are large format ‘Trade Paperback’ size designed to be a pleasant reading experience, like a hardback novel.
It’s 1966, and times are not so much changing, as starting to change. Steve Bury is in limbo between school and university, and is on a steep learning curve on love, life, drama and the way the adult world works. Steve has ended up at a local college while applying to university. The story revolves around temporary jobs on the beach, and in a bizarre museum where all the other staff are in their 60s. Then there’s a misguided student drama production of ‘Richard III’ which his new wealthy girlfriend lures him into joining. He’s experiencing the generation gap (the generation before him is still living in the 1950s), the gender gap, and also the class gap, with a girlfriend and people so much better off than him. The story mixes comedy and romance, tinged with background tragedy. It’s also meticulously researched on the factual background and music of 1966.
AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK from AMAZON

I wanted to read this book. I looked forward to a enjoyable reading. It went to hell.
As a person who still goes to bed with scholastics from the Middle Ages I wanted to read the good old honest paperback version. “Out of the stock” said Amazon. This book was released the 6th. Now it is the 12th. Out of the stock in six days? I don’t believe it. They never had it on stock . . or am I just another conspiracy minded person?
Another try: digitally. – I never heard about Kindle app but I decided to try it. I could have downloaded it to Apple’s system (which I don’t have) or Android (which I have, but I don’t feel to do it , not now.) I could have downloaded it to PC instead. Fine! I have a PC but with a Linux system. (Frankly, this is a _PC_ too) Why don’t they call it a _PC with Windows_? However, I don’t have any interest to spend this sunny weekend in installing Kindle in my Linux system.
Writers should be aware of this.

It should be in stock. There was a couple of days delay at our end, because we got the proof copy and found the covers too dark and changed them. I ordered the author promotion copies for delivery tomorrow and I still haven’t had them yet. it may be like everything else, the weather. It can’t actually be “out of stock” because they’re printed as you order. Amazon.co.uk are promising UK delivery by Sunday 14th.
