A hero called Tony
I’ve noticed that names are very different in the UK and USA. One of my lovely beta readers for Boys of Summer pointed out to me that, to her, the name “Tony” sounds lower class and probably Italian. To me it sounds posh British (short for Anthony). I would like my hero to have a…

This threw me into a three day ferment of “so who was it then? I’m sure I know his face…
How funny! I suspect they did…

Even one of Coton’s dancers regards the Morris as silly – he just comes for the exercise and the beer 😉
