Rebuild Reset Reboot

I live in the south west of England with a very patient @grumblecat. I’m a regular visitor to Dorset, England, where my 5 Star Readers’ Favorite book, The Punished, is set. Britain was rebuilding after WWII, but not the Dorset village of Tyneham, occupied by the army since 1943.

I’m not writing for a tribe of white, middle-class readers, never have done. Where is this tribe? Not here. Not there. Not anywhere.
