My first book has taken many years to write, mainly because I didn't start out with the intention of writing a book. Many years ago, as an apprentice Rock Star (ok, so that part is only in my head, but...) I discovered I had a slight talent for writing Poetry/Song Lyrics. My very good friend, George Hinchliffe, of Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain fame, even set one of my songs to music and was brave enough to perform it with his then band, Stuff, on more than one occasion. And, years later, as my career in Race Car engineering design ground to a halt due to health problems, it was George who suggested that I should start writing again, claiming that he believed I was actually quite good at it; so he's to blame if you disagree with this theory, not me! Seriously though, my book, "a hole in the sky", is a cross-sectional collection of many of the Poems and Songs I've written, with George's encouragement, over the years and it's his belief in my abilities that has led me to produce this book. There are more where these came from and I have already started writing a second volume so, watch this space. And, who knows, one day George and I may finish writing music to go with my lyrics and we may get the songs recorded and released (on whatever media are available at the time) and I can at last finish my apprenticeship and become the Rock Star I always wanted to be!
