I didn’t enjoy school one little bit. I struggled in nearly all subjects, however hard I tried. My favourite pastime was being at home watching F1 racing and movies on TV. I would rent out a film from the video shop practically every weekend, because I loved a good story. I didn’t read many books until I was an adult, but then I became a constant reader. I never imagined I would write a book of my own. However, one day this story came into my head and it wouldn’t leave me alone. So although I had no formal qualifications, I thought: why not have a go? And now, eight years later, I’m proud to have achieved a fully completed published novel. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
