New Novel out now: "Harry and Xavier", 'Five Summers to Fall'

I wanted to share the beautiful cover of my new novel, "Harry and Xavier" which Harrold-Vincent Villanueva made for me.

The novel is set in Lincolnshire and Paris between the years 1980 and 1985.

Here is the cover blurb: 

"Teenager Harry Dixon is feeling ill, desperate and lonely as the last summer term at his dreadful high school grinds on – until his quirky Parisian friend Xavier comes to visit. Mischievous, amiable, distracting… and attractive, Xavier might be just the medicine Harry needs...

As time passes and the two boys grow up, their childhood problems mature into more adult ones, while other relationships and distractions intrude into their feelings for each other. Could all this spell the end for any chance at romance in an unsympathetic world?

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer meets My Beautiful Laundrette in this quirky romantic tale set in the idiosyncratic world of the Lincolnshire Marsh of the 1980s, from the author of the acclaimed Green Twining."
