A racehorse.
A group of friends.
A second chance.

#booksky For any readers out there who enjoyed Syndicate by Felix Francis, might I recommend my own book Manvers Road Star, an adventure about a group of friends
who buy a racecourse together. The kindle version is currently on sale for £1.99, half its usual price, available on Amazon/kdp.
Only 12 hours left to grab Beyond The Mark for FREE before it goes back to its regular price. I rarely ask for shares, but let's do one big holiday push-please share so others can snag it too!
