This is my first novel.
I should have done this ages ago. I'll get that in first, save you all from telling me this. You'd be right but lets not dwell on that.
I have previously written for football and music fanzines. And now I want to do this all the time. You haven't even got your hands on the debut novel, but I can tell you that I already have plans and plots for books two and three. So this won't be a one-hit wonder. If you'll excuse the pun.
Having worked with bands and experienced the rock'n'roll lifestyle first hand, this book is based on some of the anecdotes that I heard or witnessed along the way. Some true. Some not so true. And some are utter fantasy....

$100 World Book Day NQ Walking Tour bonus
0 readers
10 x Signed Print copies (hardback)
1 x Northern Quarter Walking Tour – with photo opportunities
1 X Print from Not Quite Light archive
A World Book Day bonus promo.
To celebrate World Book Day, treat yourself to a unique 'The Rock And The Roll. And That' experience.
Your ‘bundle’ purchase will allow you to give copies of the book as presents and experience a brilliant photographic walking tour.
Award winning photographer, Simon Buckley of Not Quite Light fame, is quite the local historian and his photographic project was initially to document the changes that Manchester’s Northern Quarter has undergone.
This bonus will enable the purchaser to join Simon and myself for a walking tour of the Northern Quarter whereby you will be able to both learn a little of Manchester’s history together with an opportunity to have a few ‘NQL’ pictures of your own. We’ll also have a look at some of the key locations that are featured in ‘The Rock ’n’ The Roll. ‘N That’
You will also be able to pick a print of your choice from the NQL archive - http://simonbuckleyphotographer.bigcartel.com/ - which retail at £75.00
I’m sure you’ll agree that this all adds up to a fascinating experience and if that’s not enough, I’m sure we’ll find time for a pint – or a coffee if you decide to take the tour at dawn!!

Firstly, you're receiving this update as you have been one of the first to make a pre-order for my book - so thanks again!
The campaign was on 33 pre-orders yesterday which would have segued seamlessly into some lazy music based comment. However, you've been spared that...
I'm knocking on the door of 40 pre-orders now and am looking to approach the corporates etc. when I hit this figure.
So, please feel free to continue showing your support and share the campaign far and wide - well as far as social media will allow but you know what I mean.
I went along to a couple of book launches this week and I definitely fancy some of that!
Thanks again for all your support
Shine on you Crazy Diamonds
