CRYPTOFICTION: The Beast of Essex
Dear Sir,
My name is Martin Black, I live in Essex and I am the author of ‘Beast – The Beast of Essex’ a book which has recently been published on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=beast+of+essex
The book is a novel based upon big cat sightings in and around the county of Essex. It draws upon factual information and eye witness accounts extracted from local and national newspaper/magazine articles, web based forums, similar to your own and my own experiences in the Essex countryside.
The story is in two parts, the first provides the background information which is based upon carefully researched information as mentioned above. The second part is the main story. I think you and your members would find it quite interesting.
I have set up a website www.beast-home.co.uk to publicise the novel and to allow people to contact me and get more information about the book and its content. The site also has links to Facebook and Twitter accounts.
I’ve included a page which has related links to other useful or interesting websites like yours. I would like to include a link to your website and in return wonder if you would publicise my book on yours. You might like to read it first of course (it is only short (49,000 words) and sells for only £1.40 on Amazon. Let me know what you think.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Regards, Martin P Black.

After online discussions with Tyler Stone, I came upon some supporting evidence that I had to rush to include:

BOB TRUBSHAW: How the Anglo-Saxons Found Their Way
As the 'Souls, Spirits and Deities' PDF seem to go down well last month I've followed it with another free-to-download PDF 'booklet' called 'How the Anglo-Saxons Found Their Way.'
Before maps were commonplace people had been getting from place to place successfully for many millennia. How did they find their way?
I've taken a fresh look at how place-names may have sufficiently descriptive to have acted as route markers - and how legends could be used to create mnemonics to remember places in the correct order.
This new work is based on ideas in one chapter of 'Singing Up the Country' (see http://www.hoap.co.uk/general.htm#sutc) but brings in further academic research that I was not aware of when writing 'Singing Up the Country' and which provides direct evidence for such 'narrative cartography' in the records of Anglo-Saxon England.
Available as a free PDF download only. See
http://www.hoap.co.uk/general.htm#ssd for more details and the link
to the PDF download.
Feel free to promote this publication in any way you think would be helpful.
All best wishes
Bob
