North by North East (a novella of 44,000 words, perhaps a 3 hour read?)

The first scribing of this tory began in October 2017 as a response to a Writers’ Circus challenge “the road that must be followed”.

It involves religion, love, adultery, drugs and alcoholism and may not be everyone’s first choice of reading material.

It starts just before the 1955 Billy Graham Rally in Glasgow.

From Glasgow it then moves to The Gambia, back to Glasgow then on to Tenerife and back again to Glasgow.

Hopefully, if you give it a try, you might become intrigued and want to find out how it concludes?

The first version was edited by my friend Kareth Paterson of Writers’ Circus then became mired in the fallout from Covid lockdowns.

The version offered here was revamped over a two month spell and self-edited using the ‘Read Aloud’ tool in Word.

Please try to forgive typos and when you find a glitch, use you best judgement and read on.
