A former Leicester Mercury journalist has published his second book.
David Wardale, 48, a father-of-three from Loughborough, has followed up his award winning first novel - PsiCo- with a sequel, PsiCo: Dirty Money.
Author Dave started writing fiction in his late 20s. "I stopped because I wasn't sure if it was any good," he says.
"I started again as the father of three boys. I wrote stuff for them. They're a tough crowd - they really didn't hold back if they thought what I'd written wasn't up to scratch - but, amazingly, they seemed to like it. It all grew from there."
PsiCo - Dirty Money is released this week. The book is a white knuckle thriller which follows our hero, Danny Adams. Danny has psychokinetic powers, powers that helped to save the world in Psico.
In Dirty Money, his enemies want revenge - and they're coming after him. And they'll stop at nothing to get their own back.
The book is a rip-roaring, page-turner aimed at teenagers and young adults.
There are some dark themes, says Dave, but the book has been well received by critics and bought by several schools in the city and county - including Fullhurst Community College in Braunstone, Limehurst Academy in Loughborough and De Lisle in Loughborough.
