Blind author and former mayor Alexander Crombie releases debut novel Become The Wind through TSL Books

A retired solicitor, who lost his sight as a teenager, has put life in the blind community in the spotlight by penning his debut novel.

Alexander Crombie, who lives in the south of Rutland, fulfilled a long-held ambition when he completed Become The Wind last year.

While written to entertain, Alexander was keen to put a blind person at the heart of his story and give them a more rounded character than is often found in literature.
