‘That Was So Hebden Bridge!’ Creative Writing Memoir Showcase

Author Robert Fear runs a creative writing showcase every year on his Fred’s Blog. He then selects various contributions for publication in an anthology. I am delighted that two of my contributions are set for inclusion this year!

‘That Was So Hebden Bridge’ is the first piece. It’s a preview of a chapter from my upcoming book More Manchester Than Mongolia, which will be the second installment of my Wayward Truck series. The new book will follow our first year at large in The Beast, the 24.5-tonne truck we bought blind off the internet to convert into a tiny home-on-wheels fit for a trip to Mongolia.

You can read about how we bought and converted the truck in the first book: Building The Beast: How (Not) To Build An Overland Camper. Released in April 2024, the book was awarded a Readers’ Favorite 5* seal and is a finalist in the Page Turner Awards 2024.
