Mark Bickerton has many writing and producing credits in TV, radio and theatre. He is known principally for his work on soap operas such as Coronation Street and Emmerdale but is now working with his first love of prose. Day Return to Cocoa Yard is his debut book. As a storyteller and writing consultant, Mark has lived and worked in remote and often troubled parts of the globe including Rwanda and the African Great Lakes region. His permanent home is in Cheshire England, where he lives alone with a part-time lodger called depression and many full-time friends. He has been married twice and has four children and two grandchildren.
Sixteen stories wrapped up on one book, umpteen characters struggling. We're taken on their journey via sharp observational writing. A couple of the stories claim to be from novels but I can't find them anywhere; I assume they're in progress and I look forward to seeing them in the store. This really is a good book, I enjoyed it from start to end, especially as it ends with real hope in these torrid times.
