Come
join me for the launch of my second novel (out soon through Armley Press) at my
spiritual home, The Chemic Tavern, Leeds. My very special guest and Armley
Press stablemate, Michael Yates, will provide support and there will be an
anything goes open mic - poetry, prose, juggling, spoon-bending... Think the
end of Phoenix Nights! The event will be hosted by Gill Lambert.
Here's a little blurb etc to get you all interested and that...
Praise for Tom Tit and the Maniacs
‘A warm, funny and poignant tale of growing up in Leeds with the Ripper on the prowl.’
Michael Stewart (author of Ill Will)
‘Connors is that valuable commodity; an author who can both make you laugh out loud, and play a power-chord with your heartstrings. Tom Tit... is a wondrous novel.’ Nathan O’Hagan
‘Wry, quirky, splendid. I expected nothing less from the author of Stickleback.’ Michael Yates
‘Mark Connors is a witty, challenging and bold writer. It's hard to shake off his memorable, defiant characters. Always an enjoyable read!’ Helen Mort
When Tom Wilkins started writing a book about his life, he thought he’d be writing about fun stuff, like birdwatching or messing about in the woods. Not finding his grandad dead, his mother going mad, or his increasing obsession with the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper.
He’s been spending so much time with mad people he’s starting to fear he might be going a bit mad himself.
Set in the Yorkshire village of Horsforth in 1980, Tom Tit and the Maniacs tells the story of a ten-year-old boy trying to come to terms with death, madness and the fact that the threat from the Yorkshire Ripper is getting ever closer to home.
