And finally... still 1919. Joe is the only son of Mary and Henry. They are my paternal grandparents. But Joe is not my father. π Anyone fancy a long, immersive, escapist read about two real families, one of them Indian/Irish and royal, the other Canadian/British - and my own? #scotwriterpitch2025

Young boy beside pony cart with his mother and a fox terrier named Cracky Jack
(Cont'd.) These two books based on real events. Mary and Henry are my paternal grandparents. Joe (pictured here as a boy with Mary) is Mary and Henry's only son. So... if Joe fails to return to Vancouver from India in 1919, will I ever be born? π³ Saga/Historical Fiction/autism #scotwriterpitch2025
