The cover of my new book - The Umbrella Man and Other Stories: What We Talk About When We Talk About the JFK Assassination
People of Nottingham (and wider area).
I’ll be at Waterstones on the 12th of May, talking to the lovely @sanglesey.bsky.social about my new book.
Drinks afterwards, maybe a club. Who knows.
Tickets here or in the link in my bio - www.waterstones.com/events/marti...
I've been lucky enough to read this and can't recommend it enough. Even if you think you're not interested in the Kennedy assassination, seek it out - it's about so much more than those few short seconds in Dallas.

I’ve read many books on this subject and often been left with the feeling that I’d been cornered in a pub by a lunatic. I wanted to write something that made the reader feel they were in the company of a friend.
I think I’ve done that. I hope you buy it; and enjoy it.
This does look bloody terrific.
