your next book?
Broken Homes

From the real life scandal during the 1980s when Tesco heiress and uber-grifter Dame Shirley Porter deliberately housed poor families in asbestos ridden blocks of flats as part of her criminal plot to rig the local elections.
3) What genre does your book fall
under?
Well I call it a Crime/SFF hybrid but Urban Fantasy fits.

I have a whole Fantasy Casting page.

I like to think that my books are incompatible incomprehensible incomplete incomparable!

I can't stop writing them now. It's too late for me but it might not be too late for you. Save yourself! Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family...

Come the zombie apocalypse it will make a useful source of firelighting material. Unless you get the eBook version of course - in which case you're screwed.

I'm sure that "the high priestess of Tory sleaze," Dame Shirley Porter, Lady Porter, DBE will be touched by your heartfelt tribute to her political prowess.
Note that I've ordered the hardback which will be much more useful as a hand weapon ' Come the zombie apocalypse ' than the rather less less hefty paperback.
Since the casting page link is broken (the page no longer exists?) I thought I'd leave a suggestion: Alfred Enoch, who played Dean Thomas in the Harry Potter movies, and currently is in an American crime show "How to get away with murder" - would be a great Peter Grant!
