Huge thanks to @NorfolkMagazine and @CatherineLarner, for this very wonderful piece - very grateful and more than a bit flabbergasted. To write about Nelson’s county is a joy!

One of the most generous writers out there is @cmacwritescrime, and he's proven it again with his thoughts on #TheTroubledDeep🤿 . Chris selflessly champions so many voices in the crime world, and is now at 'national treasure' status. Thank you man! 📚 https://buff.ly/4a49eEb
