New BBC series Turn Back Time set in Morecambe, features locations used in my books!

Evening folks,

You might be aware of a series called Turn Back Time on the BBC. It's set in Morecambe like my books! Places like the Midland Hotel are featured, as well as local theatres, the park, the promenade and the beach.

Why is this interesting? Aside from being set 200 yards from where I was brought up, these places also feature heavily in my book The 24 Hour Jazz Cafe and All the fun of the fair. In fact, the Midland hotel is on the cover of the Jazz Cafe and All the Fun is set on Westminster road which is the street next to Albert Road as featured in the BBC programme.

I'd be daft not to try and use this to market my own books so if you want to read more about Morecambe and the locals, buy my books. Then, watch the BBC series, it's very, very good.

Is that the one that was on last night with the three houses, working, middle and upper class?

I've been watching that and have really enjoyed it - really interesting to see the differences between the classes.

You should totally exploit the programme for your books, market away!

It is indeed the same programme. It's strange watching it because it's all so familiar. As you say, a great marketing opportunity.
