Phil Simpkin - Author

I have just added a series tagline to my work.   'What lies buried beneath the cobbles of old Leicester?' What do you think?

Hey guys; Not wishing to give too much away, at this early stage, but one of my suspects in book #3 is described early on, as having an 'American accent'... So, the research in me began, as I had not considered the question, 'In 1852, what would an American have sounded like?' The results are fascinating, so I have attached two links which give a great insight into something we probably take for granted, certainly on the British side of 'the pond'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_English http://mentalfloss.com/article/29761/when-did-americans-lose-their-british-accents I love to learn about my new friends in the States and Canada, and this is so interesting!

Hey Guys; As eluded to in my last post, I have now published a new video about 'The Borough Boys' series of novels, together with the people and places behind the stories. It is available at Youtube... http://youtu.be/nnucayNQmtw or to view on my Amazon or Goodreads author pages, and via my Facebook page for 'The Borough Boys' Hope you enjoy it!
