NEW YEAR — NEW DIRECTION

 

Front cover of 'The Test' a novel by Jeremy waltonAfter years of on-off gestation, proprietor of the mighty jwarthog site—Jeremy Walton—is relieved to announce the birth of his first novel: The Test.

Since it does have a 1970s motor racing background mutated with rock'n'roll band action it will be (independently) reviewed on this site. Or we may just make a selection of the worst and best reviews as they come in.

Published on the Amazon-Kindle reader network the 113,000 word opus costs under £2 (Jeremy is deliberately vague since exact price varies by country) and can be found on  the links below:
