Jeremy Walton

Jeremy David Walton, July 4 1946-

It has taken over 30 years since Jeremy wrote his first [factual] book, but January 2013 saw publication of THE TEST, his first novel.Most of the interval was accounted for by apparently doomed attempts to write about anything but motoring and motor sport-related subjects, but he bowed to the inevitable cliche eventually and this novel demonstrates the worth of the old motto: 'Write What you Know." The Kindle e-Book of THE TEST was published 2013, a paperback edition in March 2018 and Jeremy is currently [as at October 2018] working on the second book of a planned TESTING TIMES trilogy

Following garage employment and a mercifully short spell washing cows' bottoms, former NUJ-Trained sub editor Walton created a freelance automotive consultancy and writing business in 1978.
