Me

I drive an eighteen tonne curtain sided truck for a North Yorkshire agricultural supply company.  I didn't want to drive for a living but around three years ago i found myself in need of a job at the age of fifty.  I have had an heavy goods vehicle license since I was twenty one and according to my license I am qualified to drive anything up to and including the old class 1. (for those who are too young to recognise this it means I can drive an articulated truck.  At least theoretically.)  But since passing the test at twenty one I haven't driven a class one vehicle.  The only reason I didn't want to drive was that I have a dislike of sitting in stationary queues on motorways.  But, thankfully, I spend very little of my working day on motorways.  My loads are usually multi drop and are usually either to farms or to one of the companies stores.  So, much to my surprise, I find that I usually enjoy my work, though there are some irritations but these are compensated for by the countryside I drive through.  So I have decided to try to write a blog about my working life and see if I get any readers.  By the way I have also published one e-book and am in the process of writing another two.  I am writing fiction in the fantasy genre.  What you may ask, does a truck driver know about fantasy? My answer is simple, if you have ever met or worked with a transport manager you wouldn't need to ask. ;-)

To have a look at the book please follow the either of the links below.  If you want to read it I would recommend using the Smashwords link as I am able to set the free sample on this site, it is set to sixty percent.  I have no choice with Kindle and I think the free sample is twenty five percent.  But, in my opinion, the start is a little too slow and it needs a little patience to read.  I have added a promotional code which can be used on or before the thirty first of August and amounts to a seventy percent discount. To receive this discount please use the promotional code below when completing your purchase.

  1. Stephen--would you please contact me at squarepegman at gmail? I was referred to you (I think it must be you) by an individual who furnished some apple scionwood I've been seeking, and which I thought extinct. The .btinternet email address he gave me bounced, and I haven't found any way to contact you here other than posting a comment. I'd appreciate it!
    Regards,
