Books by Norfolk Writers
We will have a stall at the Norwich Independent Book & Zine Fair , hosted by Salo Press at The Forum, Norwich on Saturday 24 October, from 9am to 5pm.
The full selection of books published by Paul Dickson Books will be on offer including Peter Sargent’s East Anglian Moments in Time history series, The Faces of the Fiend of Breydon by Charles Reader and Miracle in Kigali by Illuminee Nganemariya.
Happy publication day to The Faces of the Fiend of Breydon and author Charles Reader.
The Faces of the Fiend of Breydon is a tale of fear, obsession, passion, greed, folly and death. It plays itself out against a vast backdrop of marsh and sky – empty but for distant, shadowy forms. This psychological thriller is primarily set in Victorian Great Yarmouth and the Broads. The book, price £12, is on sale at Allthingsnorfolk and Amazon
The novel was shortlisted out of an entry of 13,500 in WH Smith’s Raw Talent competition in 2002.
Charles Reader explains: “In 1961, my family came to live near Halvergate Marshes. I was just two years old and so, as I grew up, this landscape was home. In later life I often returned to stay with my parents – yet each time I did so, I realised that more of the old Norfolk speech and ways I’d grown up with had disappeared and were in danger of being forgotten. So, I began writing about this area, using my childhood memories and conversations with our oldest neighbours. This eventually resulted in my novel, The Faces of the Fiend of Breydon.”
We will be at The Wayland Show, Watton, Norfolk on Sunday 4 September, 10am to 5pm. Come and say hello in The Shopping Village. We will be there with the full range of our books.
