Young actor Marlon Mair has been recruited to be the ‘face’ of Henry Appleton, Boy Hero and The Physician’s Gun. The picture shows Marlon, dressed in period costume, getting ready for a photo shoot with photographer Bridget Webber and casting director Greta Gregory.

“Marlon has just the right ‘look’ for Henry Appleton,” says author John Evan Harris. “Open, honest, adventurous and cheeky.”

Marlon’s photo will be used to promote both books which feature Henry Appleton’s adventures in Nelson in 1866, including his encounters with the ruthless Burgess Gang.
