pending the release of my new book entitled Guilt, Shame and Poverty: Love, Loss, Betrayal, i have added these new pages to promote my work.
based on the circumstances of the past 10 years the book explores the growth of my own relationship with my family, my friends and the children in our care. it is a thought provoking piece of work and has many challenging ideas that are taken from the tabloid press and manipulated as a narrative.
the novel is available from chipmunkapublishing.com as an e - book and will be in paperback by early next year to buy from both the afore mentioned website and amazon.com.
i dont want to give too much away until i am with the publishing schedule so until i hear news from above then i will just share the cover cover notes with you...
'Shame, well, he doesn't realize how tough it is to be a dad.' These words reverberate around John Leech's head like a the sound of an atom bomb going off in his back garden. Shaken by the possibility of him becoming a father for the third time, he goes to pieces and tears down the metaphorical walls that surround him as he searches for the answer to the same problem that he posed himself as a teenager; 'How can i possibly survive this?' Survival is assured as he leaves the family home to delve deep into his psyche but will he ever come back? Can he love this child? Or will he beat the babe over the head, treat the news as lies and forever be manipulated by his partner, family and friends?
'The Devil himself has at least a hand in this... and he is Victor...'
thats all i can add to this blog for now but i hope at least someone will begin to follow my meanderings through the troubles of my early education and reflect with some wisdom on what it means to be schizophrenic... alive and battling for survival maybe!
