Hi all - I have been a member of the board for many years, but never post and just read my way through. I am originally from Harle Syke and a former Barden student.
However, I have recently published my debut novel (a fantasy novel aimed at 13-18 year olds) it would make a great stocking filler for friends and family

Best of luck, but I can't remember penning any such fantasy...

Is this fantasy tale a story about an ageing footballer, who had been struggling for a few years and looked finished at his football club, but then turned hero by scoring 2 goals in a win against their local rivals?

I'll download it to my Kindle when I've finished my current read,I like this genre so hopefully it will be the first of many.
As an ex Barden pupil though are there any words in it with more then 4 letters and did your proof reader have a nightmare task?

Well done for getting it on the market. I have a question: which formatting tool did you use, Jutoh?
