==Publication==
In an interview Sayer explains that this was the third novel he had actually written, but like his earlier efforts would in all likelihood fail to be published were it not for it winning The Constable Trophy an award given by Yorkshire Arts for 'the best unpublished novel in the North of England'. "I’ve always thought it highly unlikely that any agent or editor would ever have taken it on, owing to its shortness and dark nature." 〔(Pulp Pusher: PUSHED FOR ANSWERS: Paul Sayer ) Retrieved 2013-07-28.〕
