A PEMBROKESHIRE man has now become an author after publishing his first paperback.

Richard Baker from Broad Haven took up writing after retiring in 2012 and has five novels on Kindle which have received positive reviews from readers.

But Mr Baker has now taken the step into physical copies after his first paperback book called Corona! was recently published.

The book focuses on a fictional statistician from Swansea and was inspired by the coronavirus pandemic. It is set against the background of corporate greed and the pandemic.
