The North Road playlist is up on Spotify. Close to 6 hours of the songs and music that accompanied the journey and shaped the writing.
More than this, it echoes the unfolding chapters. A listen along for anyone reading the book.
Perfect for a Bank Holiday. 😁

It runs and flies today. Officially. #TheNorthRoad is out there!
10 years of researching, walking, travelling and writing. A lifetime lived; 7,000 years of strata and stories. All braided together. A book about identity, family.
Go out and get it at your local bookshop. I’d be ever so grateful.

Hello everyone. #TheNorthRoad is doing the rounds ahead of its release in April.
The responses and reviews are humbling and wonderful. I’ll share some on here.
In general I’m trying to find a place where madmen don’t pander to the far right.
Will be posting more on this channel.
