One of the benefits of the Covid lockdown: my new book.

Writers can usually only dream of being able to lock themselves away to work uninterrupted by the 'real world'.  But my dream came true over the lockdown period. I started my new book on May 1 and it's finished.

It's called: 

Jacko. One Bloke. One Year.  

Here's the cover blurb: 

Jackson Fearnsby’s fiftieth year began badly, ended better, and was in between punctuated by a series of seasonal events and anniversaries shared with his friends and family. Set in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1950, this story follows the life of an ordinary man in an ordinary job living an ordinary life with his ordinary family in an ordinary city — then no more than a large town — while struggling with the doubts and anxieties which came with middle-age to an already troubled mind.

It's with readers now, the cover's being designed, so I should have it up on Kindle by the end of October and paperbacks available to New Zealand readers by the middle of November.  Email me now to reserve an early copy.
