The Road from
Cromer Pier
It’s ten years
on from The Road to Cromer Pier, and Summertime Special Show
Director Karen Wells has two potential headliners, but both have issues. Dare
she take the risk? And Karen herself is at a crossroads. Will her mother Janet
ever retire and allow her to run the pier theatre?
Meanwhile Janet’s nemesis, businessman Lionel
Pemrose still has designs on the pier theatre, but he is facing growing
financial problems. Bank manager Peter Hodson is haunted by a past indiscretion,
and calls in recently widowed turnaround expert Tom Stanley. Can he keep the
indiscretion a secret?
Tom is bereaved and has recently been made
redundant from his own firm. He is too young to retire, and after years of long
hours, suddenly finds himself unemployed. He pours his energies into the
assignment, which could be his last hurrah.
Old enmities, loyalties and past mistakes
surface as the future of the pier theatre is once again under threat, and those
involved must deal with unresolved issues in their lives.

Author Bio
I am a 63 year
old Accountant who semi-retired to explore my love of creative writing. In my
career I held Board level jobs for over twenty five years, in private, public
and third sector organisations. I was born in Coventry, a city then dominated
by the car industry and high volume manufacturing. Jaguar, Triumph, Talbot,
Rolls Royce, Courtaulds, Massey Ferguson were the major employers, to name but
a few.
When I was nine year’s old I told my long
suffering mother that as I liked English composition and drama I was going to
be a Playwright. She told me that I should work hard at school and get a proper
job. She was right of course.
I started as an Office Junior at Jaguar in 1973
at eleven pounds sixty four a week. I thus grew up in the strike torn, class
divided seventies. My first career ended in 2015, when I semi retired as
Director of Corporate services at Humberside Probation. My second career, as a
Non Executive Director, is great as it has allowed me free time to travel and
indulge my passion for writing, both in novels and for theatre.
The opportunity to rekindle my interest in
writing came in 2009, when I wrote my first pantomime, Cinderella, for my home
group, the Walkington Pantomime Players. I have now written eight. I love
theatre, particularly musical theatre, and completed the Hull Truck Theatre
Playwrite course in 2010. My first play, a comedy called He's Behind You, is
now available on:

Pen Pals was my first novel, and a second, The
Road to Cromer Pier, is now available in all three formats. It was. officially
launched on Cromer Pier itself, coinciding with the new season of the
Summertime Special Show.
I'm active on twitter @authorgore and on facebook martin gore author. My
website is http://www.martingore.co.uk.
I’m an old fashioned writer I guess. I want you
to laugh and to cry. I want you to believe in my characters, and feel that my
stories have a beginning, a middle, and a satisfactory ending.
