Description
Crystal loves the glittering glass palace she was named after. Yet the place stirs difficult memories of those she loved and lost. Wilf has marched all the way from Northumbria to London, desperate for work. Together they uncover a plot by fascists who plan to gather their paramilitary Blackshirts and provoke further violence.
'Crystal' is a speculative novel set among the historical upheavals of the Jarrow Hunger March, the Battle of Cable Street sparked by Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts and the burning of the Crystal Palace, all of which happened within two months of each other, at the end of 1936.

Person
Chris Gregory - writer
Hello, thank you for showing an interest in my writing.
I have been writing stories for over ten years and would like to share them with you.
You may be interested in historical fiction or science fiction or, like me, both. Both have the potential to take us on an adventure, a journey to another time. And both allow us to look at our own time from another perspective.
You may be interested in why I write and the theme that runs through all my stories: home. If so, please take a look at my website.
When I am not writing, I design new and refurbished homes. I am a fencing coach who enjoys helping beginners (the sport with swords, not timber panels!) And I work hard as head of staff, looking after my creative writing director (my cat).
