For World Book Day, I am sharing the book which was graced with the most awesome of covers and which I probably had the most fun writing. Based on the tabletop game ‘Wild West Exodus’, I give you ‘Lazarus’.

"At home, a lot of girls dress the same way. It's boring. I pretty much dress like this all the time. People always get a shock when I turn up to their door to fix something. I work with lots of fortysomething men and they probably just think I'm a bit weird."
