Synopsis

In a city under occupation, a single message could break an empire-or die with the man who carries it. Pilgrim is a wireless operator on the run, hunted by a relentless intelligence officer known only as the Terrier, a man who never loses the scent. Betrayed and cut off, Pilgrim must cross a war-torn landscape, slipping through shadow networks of resistance fighters, smugglers, and strangers who risk everything for a cause they may never see fulfilled. From rain-soaked alleys to the unforgiving heights of the Pyrenees, every step forward tightens the net behind him. Every choice costs someone else. Because the message he carries is too dangerous to transmit... and too vital to lose. The Longest Step is a tense, breathless journey of survival, sacrifice, and quiet heroism-where the difference between life and death is measured not in miles, but in moments, and in the courage to take one more step.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

After the tragic loss of my girlfriend as a teenager, I sought an escape. My pub upbringing introduced me to a traveling gypsy family, and they allowed me to join their journey under one condition: I had to contribute. Soon, they discovered my talent for spontaneous storytelling, known as "pantsing."

In villages and towns, I showcased this gift, crafting stories based on audience suggestions after Mahala's performances. My dyslexia prevented me from pursuing writing as a profession, given the cost of ghostwriters and publishing.

Now, with five children and a 50th birthday surprise, a daughter, now a young teenager, I've told countless imaginative bedtime stories based on their prompts.

Reflecting on my time with the gypsy family, I've realised the profound impact of storytelling on people, contemplating the possibility of chronicling that journey someday.

During my 30s and 40s, I occasionally returned to the stage for charity events, fueled by my love of storytelling. My daughter encouraged me to channel that passion into writing, which led to the creation of my first series, *Bella*, named after my daughter, under the pen name Barrel Coops. Remarkably, I wrote the five-book series in just five months, though editing took an additional four months, largely due to my challenges with reading. After receiving extensive feedback and taking several courses, the series was rewritten and published in early 2024.

Despite dyslexia being a constant challenge, I'm committed to writing. I hope my stories will captivate and inspire you, bringing enjoyment to your life.
