Martin, who spent years as an age group manager in the TPCC junior section, has just had his first novel published. Congratulations Martin! The Farmer Children is a middle grade dystopian novel with a hint of cli-fi and the first part of a trilogy.

You can get a copy from Martin at the club on Friday 15th or Saturday 16th or from Our Bookshop, Tring.

Here's a synopsis of the tale:
Celefar is broken.

The once proud, plentiful farms are now brutally held in an enforced contract with the insatiable greed of the Town.

A charter, created by the treacherous Governors out of their promise of salvation from the marauding, half-beast Longhairs.

Alexander knew it was all a lie, he just couldn't understand why no one else did.

As he works alongside his grieving father, a devastating crop failure strikes.

A mysterious sickness spreads among the adults, leaving them unable to function as the animals fall victim to a maddening infection.

With the impending threat of reparations from the Town looming over them, the Farmers and their children brace themselves for the worst.

Nothing however, could prepare them for the nightmarish measures the Governors would ultimately take.

Thank you for your support Martin and best wishes for this novel
