My Fiction
My first fiction book was inspired by shamanism and the Exmoor countryside. At the time I wrote it I was living right out on the moor, in an isolated farmhouse without any mains services. An early version of the book was the regional finalist in the Faber/Waterstones Wow Factor competition ten years ago. Ten years? How did that happen? Walker didn’t find a publisher, despite this, and so I gave it a violent revamp, upping the age of the protagonist and turning it into a YA (young adult) title that would also appeal to an adult readership. At this point, I decided that I couldn’t face going through the hunt for a publisher so I popped it out on Kindle instead.
It’s an adventure yarn – if I’m being pompous I call it an ‘eco-quest’ – certainly the moor is as much a character as the people and animals it follows. Click on the cover for more…
