About Me
- Archie Pullen
- Archie Pullen is a fictional character I created for my novel about Dick Turpin (currently being prepared for publication). I am at present providing Pullen with his own 18th century detective novel/revenger's tragedy spin-off. The material about him in this blog is copyrighted to Rebecca Riley. Watch this space to see more about Pullen as the new novel develops.
