Under this heading you can read about the historical background to my books and what inspired me to write them.
You can also, if you wish, read the original opening five chapters of NOW IS THE HOUR, which the publisher rejected on the grounds that ‘people don’t want to read about the theatre’. I have given them the title I intended for the whole book, KINDLY LEAVE THE STAGE.
TOUCHING HISTORY tells the story of some of the real people I have been lucky enough to meet, who played a part in the events I have described.
