Where has all the time gone?

Haven’t had time to post since before Easter, I’m afraid – so what’s been occurring? A generous amount of chocolate egg consumption, it must be said; and the return of just a few days when you instantly stop whatever you’re doing – hanging out the washing in the garden, for instance, or writing the next novel, or attending a neighbour’s funeral complete with two white horses to pull the coffin, or making tea for the people installing a charger for an EV on the side of the house, that sort of thing – and just sit down in the garden and let the sun warm your face for five minutes. Or thirty.
There’s a new month coming up and it seems to be time for a revamp of the website, and to find out why no one ever reads my earlier books. You know of course that the recent novel A DISTANT VOICE IN THE DARKNESS is available for £9.99 in paperback or in the Kindle edition for £3.50 – that’s the one I’m writing the sequel to. But there are two earlier novels which you could get directly from us, which no one ever seems to see on the website. Have you heard of RUBIK’S CUBE, about some Quakers in Wales confronting an American cruise missile base in the 1980s at the same time as dealing with neighbours who hide children’s footballs, oncoming blindness, and of course a love story… The other novel is called MATHISON, written by a computer program. Yes we did have AI back in the day! It’s told to a baby born in 2000, with the story of her or his family throughout the century, from 1900 Calcutta and from Nazi Germany.
If you want to read either of those, just let me know at info@attfieldduttbooks.com I will need your postal address, and the cost is £5 per book including postage.
You may have read the recent short stories FRESH BEGINNINGS which is still £8 paperback or free on kindle unlimited, or £1.77 kindle from Amazon, but there is an earlier collection of short stories called KINGFISHER BLUE which we can send you if you contact us – again, that would be £5 including postage.
Yes, a revamp is definitely necessary!
