MAL HARRIS

Now available through Amazon UK, A Mere Mortal, the second edition of an episodic journey through the life of one man from genius to obscurity. Funny, self-deprecatingly honest, memoirs of an average man.

This is no ordinary book of memoirs. No worldwide success. No medals. No chart-topping. No accolades. Just an only child of the Sixties trying to overcome severe shyness. A life of almostness - is that a word? This is a book about effort, of persistence, of never-say-die. The search for a creative role in life.

And here's a warning : it may just make you smile.

School in the Sixties, University in the Seventies, adventures in radio, in the photographic studio and on stage, writing, and a recognition in old age that success isn't everything. It's all here; celebrities, sporting heroes, love and friendships, success and failure in equal measures. Here is a book, above all, you will enjoy reading. Spanning three countries, this book takes you to South Wales, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Cornwall, Normandy and latterly Sheffield, experiencing success and failure in equal measure.

Also by the author: Shubby and the Mammacs, a delightful children's adventure book, featuring a young girl and her three adorable animal friends, Munty monkey, Percy Vere penguin, and Jerry Giraffe.
