I have had some good reviews from colleagues and friends, and now it is time to take the plunge and publish.
I work as a teaching assistant at Bradford College, and I assist dyslexic students with their assignments, etc. I play saxophone very badly, but I aspire. I have run a karate club (twenty-four years), and I am second Dan. I have worked in the security industry for many years too, and I am an engineer by trade but have not worked in that field for many years. I am divorced and currently live alone in Thackley, a leafy semirural area between Bradford and Leeds.
I see the publishing of my book, The Brighton Warrior, as a culmination of years of playing with ideas of the plot and having worked extensively in the area for forty years or so. I thought it would be good to place it there. I love the Brighton area and have had many good times while holidaying and working in the area. It is a unique place, but like any other city, it has a dark side to its nature. Simon and Sally would recognize the pubs and clubs in The Brighton Warrior as would Paul and Alishia. Some of the characters are recognizable as real people too, and I hope they like themselves in the book.
Paul is totally fictional as most of my characters are, but there are some parts of the characters I have included from the characters of real people. I hope they will forgive me if they recognize them.ver menos
