That's nearly 1,000 copise sold since just before Christmas. The Inspector Vignoles mysteries are proof that the self-publishing IS the way forward, and thanks to YOU my readers, you seem to like the fact that the books do not follow a strict formula, and enjoy the quirky, atmospheric blend of Foyle, Midsummer Murder, Morse and Ian Allan loco spotter's books! Toot toot!
