When my agent, Darin Jewell, told me I would need a Press Release I thought I would have to big myself up tell everyone about the thousands of books that I have sold around the world and impress the Hell out of everyone with reviews from my previous work. That’s not me and not in my nature so I was at an impasse. How could I sell myself and my product that I had worked on for the last four years? How could I tell everyone, who would take the time to listen, about the 384 pages that have etched themselves into my heart? My baby was here, its birth was long but not painful. In fact filling the white space had been a pure joy. The stories in Tales from the Coast are as pleasurable as a warm bath after a long day. I have decided to let you feel a little of the spirit of my book. All the stories are inspired by and related to me by the people who actually lived them. These are real people, no media sensations, just ordinary hard working people who through their, sometimes astoundingly long, lives have had certain incidents indelibly burned into their memories. Tales from the Cost is full of my love of England, our love of this enduring, sometimes hard-pushed country. Almost daily I drive by Pevensey Castle a stones-throw away from where the Duke of Normandy moored up his ships and marched to war. The Roman castle, some of it now over 1700 years old, remains a reminder of how strong we are. How tough the British have become and how proudly we announce to the world our birthrights. Tales from the Coast brings the spirit of my county and country to life, its people, colour and vibrancy. I am no literary master, far from it. I can imagine as I write an editor having palpitations at these very words. Sometimes I start a sentence with but or as, just to let people know that my books are not written by machine nor published in perfection. I will leave you with one of my favourite notes left to me that sums up all I have ever tried to achieve in Tales from the Coast. I retired to my bed, and let your book give me a glimpse of somewhere else, through the eyes of someone else. By the time I turned off my reading light, I was at peace with the world. Not convinced it is either safe or sane, but the edge softened by your beautiful words Pat Bergman USA World-wide postage is available on all my books and if you would like anymore information just mail me: alexsussex@aol.com Seven-day delivery to America & Canada, two-day UK.
