Hi all,

Hope you are all doing well.

Some of you may remember me previously posting about a book I was writing. Well it’s been a steep learning curve but have finally brought it to publication.

I wrote this after finding out I needed a transplant and having to leave work. Saved me from going stir crazy sat at home. I finished writing it in December ‘17 just before I got the call. Recovery and then the diagnosis of cancer slowed things down a bit but as you know I’m not one to roll over and give up. So I pushed on and the day after I finished 8 cycles of chemo it was released.

If anyone enjoys dark gritty crime thrillers and needs something to occupy themselves on one of the many hospital stays we have to endure I’d be humbled if you considered this.

Love you all.

That was taken in New York, our last holiday before transplant. Although I’ve put on more timber since then. Really need to shed a few pounds now that I can get a bit more mobile. (I’m still blaming the swelling from the op, oh and the two hernias lol)

Thanks for the purchase. I hope you enjoy it. All the best.

As you may have already gathered the language isn’t toned down for it, it fairly dark. It’s what you get after being a prison officer.

After first page I turned to donna and said .... me the language is a bit fruity lol right up my street 😊

May I offer my congratulations on this wonderful achievement.

There's one question I'd like to ask if you don't mind. Like a lot of people who've had a liver transplant, I found the whole experience a very emotional journey. Did this emotional experience follow through into your book when you were writing it?

I finished writing a few weeks prior to my transplant but the whole journey has been an emotional rollercoaster. There are a few moments in the book that were emotionally taxing to write.

Brilliant. Congratulations. I'll be buying a copy too x
