A little dash of shameless self promotion

Forgive me, but if you can't plug your book on your own blog, when can you?

It is with great pleasure I can announce the appearance of my story "Old Man Walking" in the Amazon annals, which can be downloaded onto one's kindle for the princely sum of 99p if you so wish. The introductory blurb for the story, which comes in at around 10,000 words, goes as follows:

Harry Jones, an elderly widower, is arousing concern among his friends and family over his memory loss. Harry has heard of Alzheimer's disease, but has no idea what it might be. He would say he is the same now as he ever was, just a bit slower on his pins than he used to be. This story traces the events of one day in his life as he struggles to maintain his independence in an increasingly confusing world.

And there you have it. I have based my account loosely on the life of my father in law (peace be upon him) whom I was able to witness as his faculties gradually faded over the last three years. I feel privileged to have known him, and grateful to have had the opportunity to chronicle some events in his life, albeit in a fictionalised form. Do have a look at it on Kindle if you have one, or download it in other ways as appropriate to your needs. Some discerning friends have described it as the best thing I have written to date, though obviously you must decide for yourself. I do hope you read it and enjoy!
