On
my special post, Promoting Yorkshire Authors, I am delighted to welcome back,
Chris Turnbull.
Chris
is here to talk about his latest book, The
Planting of the Penny Hedge, so please help yourself to a glass of bubbly
and settled on a recliner to learn about a new detective in town!
Blurb
WHITBY
1891
When
an unknown man is discovered dead on Whitby beach, it is assumed that he has
drowned. However, when the police arrive at the scene it soon becomes clear
that there is more to this case than a simple drowning victim.
The
chief calls in newly appointed Detective Benjamin Matthews to look into the
case. Matthews, originally from Whitby, has been living these past two years in
York as a PC, and is less than happy with his transfer back to the harbour
town.
With
a relocation, a family conflict and now a new case to solve Matthews is well
and truly thrown in at the deep end; and the more he delves into the young mans
complex life, the darker things get.
Inspiration
The
detective in this book is in fact the detective that appeared in one of my
earlier works (D: Whitby's Darkest Secret) and after the publication of Darkest
Secrets in 2015 I began to draw my attention to the detective. I wanted to know
more about this man (because in Darkest Secrets he is more of a secondary
character) and I wanted to explore further into his life. I also loved setting
one of my books in Whitby, as I adore the place, and was keen to go back there
through my writing.
The
Planting of the Penny Hedge story came to me in 2016 and with other projects
already started I simply worked on it at small intervals at a time. Finally at
the end of 2017 I began working fully on the story, and over the course of a
year plotted out and wrote the first draft.
