The eagerly anticipated novel written by Dagenham based author and Book Challenger, H.B. O’Neill is out now! We couldn’t be more excited!

According to Mark is a darkly comic tale of heartbreak and confusion. Robert, devastated and unravelling, turns to his literary hero for help. Will listening to his hero Mark Twain lead to solace and recovery, or is it an undertaking that can only end in tragedy?

H.B. O’Neill will be joined in conversation with Book Challenge Mentor, Ian Ayris, discussing his journey into publication, followed by a Q&A.

There will be an opportunity to buy signed copies on the day.
