The Titanic Document

by Alan Veale

It all comes down to who you can trust: the woman who got you sacked
– or a killer from the British Government…

• Powerful men kept secret what was really planned for April 1912
• Headlines of the disaster went contrary to expectations
• A mistake so huge it demanded concealment at the highest level

But the details survived through generations, causing panic for today’s politicians.

Peter Gris, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, also sees his sexual perversions at risk of discovery. His actions to eliminate both threats mean tracking down and destroying historic evidence – and anyone who stands in his way.

The Titanic Document presents a thrilling new take on how the 1912 tragedy unfolded, as those tasked to keep the historical secret safe go on the run from an elite group of political figures.

About the author

The Importance of Being Independent : I am one of many writers who are not tied to a single publisher, genre, or even just one outlet for my creativity. I have described myself as a “creative writer” for long enough, but I recognise that such a description may be interpreted as someone who specialises in “Creative Writing”, possibly after taking an online course with a dubious educational facility.
So, as Goodreads is primarily a source of information for readers, let me clarify how I would describe what I do:
First and foremost, my background is the theatre. Scriptwriting for the stage focuses on dialogue-led scenes, and after writing for over fifty years I still tend to be inspired by snatches of conversation. I hear lines in my head and think “that could lead somewhere”. For the benefit of anyone who hasn’t read my debut novel from 2013 (The Murder Tree), my early inspiration came from an imagined discussion between a girl and a librarian where she said something like “So, you’re saying one of my ancestors was a murderer?” There was a hell of a lot of work went into developing the manuscript after that, but it does illustrate how my creative mind can be encouraged.
Two thrillers, a memoir and a travelogue later, you can tell that I also like to diversify!
Right now, I am taking a break from “long” fiction, but my theatrical bent still allows me to write short stories – and then adapt them for broadcast as audio dramas. You can currently catch up with my work online through Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other platforms in The JAPE Collective. You will find more information on my website: alanveale.com.
