Local author David Swattridge visited us this week to talk about his debut novel 'Pale Battalions' and to read a few excerpts from it.
After wanting to write for years David's dream of becoming a published author came true last year, though he told us that even with the book in hand he still finds it hard to believe! Sam the protagonist of the novel moves into to an inherited house and becomes embroilled in a mystery that will take him back to the Great War in search of answers.
Is it a ghost story? a Romance or a Thriller? David's book seems to defy fitting into a traditional genre and this has inspired the Muser to think about genres of fiction in this months musings.
You can listen to David reading excerpts from his novel and our interview with him on the righthand side of our blog.
