Rochdale man publishes first novel on Kindle

The cover of Martin's book, Neurotransmission Interception

A Rochdale man has published his first book Neurotransmission Interception on Amazon Kindle.

Martin Norry, a qualified driving instructor of eleven years, published the novel – which he describes as “crime, thriller, romance, paranormal, humour” – on 3 August.

He says the idea for the book was borne after an interest was sparked by cognitive therapy for a phobia of bridges.

Martin explained: “I have always been a bit of a day dreamer, so many years ago I started to put pen to paper, but nothing much came of it.

“About ten years ago I developed a phobia of bridges, Barton bridge in particular; unfortunately, the list started to grow. Eventually I sought professional help, which unfortunately did not seem to help.

“I attended two sessions of cognitive therapy and decided it was not for me, but it did provoke an interest in how the brain works and this is when the seed started to grow for this book.”

He continued: “The book explains what neurotransmissions are [the transfer of information between nerve cells] and offers a compelling argument for why it could be possible to intercept them. The first character we meet can intercept these transmissions. A little later in the book we meet two characters that can not only intercept but also can manipulate those transmissions.”

Martin has lived in Rochdale for about fourteen years, eleven in Littleborough and the last three in Norden. He is married to his wife, Susan, and they have four children and four grandchildren.

When he is not working, he can be found writing or at Oulder Hill Leisure Centre.

Neurotransmission Interception is available on Amazon Kindle.
