Graham launches his latest book

Exeter author Graham Sclater will tomorrow (Friday 20th) launch his latest book Cowboys and Angels.

The launch takes place at St Thomas Library from 7.30pm and refreshments will be available.

This is Graham’s seventh book since his first novel “Ticket to Ride” set in musical world of Hamburg during the 1960’s, was published in 2006 by Flame Books.

It features Harry Clark, a soldier stationed in Cyprus where he met and married Greek Cypriot, Xanthi. Within weeks of the birth of their daughter he left to join the Special Forces. His precarious life was cut short when he was shot by Malik, an Iraqi insurgent and left for dead. He survived momentarily only to be the victim of a grenade attack from “The Shadow.”

It was three years before Harry could walk and his body functioned unaided. Twenty years after getting married Harry finally returned to Cyprus to fulfil his dream of opening his own restaurant. This was quickly shattered when he was unwittingly dragged into the seedy world of people trafficking and the reappearance of Malik.

Will he survive this time?”

Graham studied at the Phoenix Arts Centre in Exeter, where he concentrated on creative writing for the screen and television. His key interests are teleplays, and screenplays as well as developing and writing original drama series’ for television.

He spent several years living and playing Hammond organ in various groups in Germany and Scandinavia during the sixties where he played with Jimi Hendrix and Elton John. He returned to England in the late sixties where he worked with James Taylor, toured Europe with Fats Domino and was a session musician in some of the top London studios.

More recently Graham has been engaged to speak about creative writing on cruise ships and “Cowboys and Angels“ will be launched across Europe, in Amsterdam, Hamburg and Copenhagen in early October, before its launch in Exeter at St Thomas library at 7.30pm.

“Cowboys and Angels” set in Cyprus and on Dartmoor, is published by Tabitha Books on 20th October 2017, and is available from Amazon or Tabitha Books as well as an e-book from Kindle and Kobo, and all good book stores.
