If you read it and liked it, your comments will be welcome here. If you read it and thought it was crap, your comments will still be welcome here. Good or bad, constructive criticism will be acted on and should help me make volume two even better than volume one. ;-)

My first book available at Amazon Ebook Store 17-8-2011
'Boy to Man' will be available from Amazon Kindle Ebook Store by the end of this week.
This novel tells the autobiographical story of a young child torn from his homeland by the invasion of Hungary in 1956 by Russian forces. His family arrived at the shores of England as refugees and eventually settled in a suburb of London, by which time the magnitude of the upheaval began to show the first signs of behavioural problems. In a short period of time his behaviour became a torrent of self-destruction which leads him to be institutionalised. He was expelled from all the schools he attended but one and walked out of there a few weeks before he was due to sit his final exams. By the time he reached twenty years of age he had amassed 26 criminal convictions and a further 15 taken into consideration. After a dramatic car chase through the streets of Croydon, he was sentenced to Borstal training in 1968. He escaped and went on the run causing chaos and devastation in his wake. He was released from Borstal in 1970.
The ups and downs and ‘ins and outs’ of his sometimes hilarious, sometimes sad to the downright reckless adventures will keep the readers interest level at boiling point from chapter one to the last full stop. There are a few paragraphs that could be labelled almost serious but they are few and far between. Should one like a ‘larf’ or two, make sure you have a spare pair of undies to hand! There is no way the story can be labelled an intellectual masterpiece, which of course it’s not, which is exactly why it makes for a hard to put down read.
This is the first novel in a series of three. Novel two is underway and will be entitled Man to Man. The last in the series will have the title of Man to Grave.
