I'm so proud of my friend Jonathan, after working so hard for years to break through and have his books published.

Question

Hiya Rich.

His full name is Jonathan Turley. He's only a couple of years younger than me so I assume you know someone with the same(ish) name?

Any idea where you might know him from?

Dunkster - YHMB

Oh yeah, I forgot about this... we'd created him a website for the launch of his first book under a nom-de-plume (pen name) of J.T. McQueen. This version was pretty much for the US market, and as such the cover was completely different and the content itself was not the same.

Please be aware the links to the author may no longer work, and the price shown is for a book that no longer exists...!

Nice site though, shame to waste it, so it may yet be re-branded (Courtesy of a certain media company <cough> )

Authors original website clicky

Cheers,
Squizz.

To anyone who wants a signed copy of the books, I'm sure we could arrange that for the normal price + p&p...

Might get Kiddy back on the map!

Be a change from the joking comments made by Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson, anyway.

Looking forward to getting my signed copies this weekend!

He's organising book signing events at local bookshops, too. I'll post up any details that I get.

He's appeared in an editorial in the Kidderminster Shuttle newspaper, and will soon be on BBC Hereford & Worcester radio!
