Place of Whitton saved his<br />
life, he says: “I think if that<br />

published, I might have<br />

patient, or a drunk, or a<br />
homeless person.” His most<br />
recent novels are The<br />
Widow And Her Hero, The<br />
People's Train and The<br />
Daughters Of Mars. He has<br />
also written several works of<br />
non-fiction, including his<br />
