This was where the idea for the Mallory books started - in Yorkshire in 2008.
On a lazy holiday, with the trials and tribulations of the daily grind temporarily suspended and my imagination free to wander.
I imagined an old ship tramping around the worlds ports trying to earn a crust. A captain with good and solid intentions, coping with the aftermath of the depression and a bunch of misfits as a crew.
What started off as a serious book became a humourous look at life at sea, peppered with my own experiences and anecdotes.
Bram Stoker found some of his inspiration for 'Dracula' after staying here in 1890.
