My latest book was published by Troubador/Matador on February 28, six weeks ago. The title is "Dying to Know - Running through a Pandemic". If you appreciated my first book - "The Road to Corbyn" (Matador, 2016) - you will relish this new book. Even if you did not, my latest literary venture is still a worthwhile read.
A copy can be ordered direct from the publishers using this link here. The book is priced at £9.99.
You can get a signed copy from me direct for £11.50, including postage and packing, using Paypal or bank transfer. My email is robdonovan@waitrose.com.
Here is a taste of the contents - the image of the front cover:

And here in this image of the front and back covers is a taste of what you will find inside its 150 pages. As I wrote the book, I had two readers - Jessica Raber in the USA and Ingrid Helmer in The Netherlands - who
followed my journey and helped me avoid literary mistakes. I also had a scientific advisor - Dr. Howard Pue - whose help was invaluable. Their thoughts on my book are summarized on this back cover.
You will find other fuller reviews - eight so far, with two in the pipeline - on the Matador webpage for my book - using the same link as above (this link here).
Here is the publisher's Advance Information page:
At present, I am close to completing the first 10,000 words of my next literary venture which is focused on mining in Cornwall, with special reference to Camborne and the Basset mines. I am exploring the moral question: 'Does the pursuit of private profit for some ever justify ill-health and death for others'. As we edge ever nearer to global extinction as a species, it is a question that we should all be asking.
