Having spent most of my life trying to be the person everyone else wanted me to be, I was a late starter when it came to writing. Having tried many years ago (before the advent of self-published ebooks) and been turned down by every publisher I approached, it was a case of being told ‘now will you accept you can’t write and get back to work’.
But then a few years ago, having been miserable for over 50 years of my life, I decided I couldn't do that anymore and decided if I was going to be happy I had to change the way I think and change my life completely.
Fast forward a few years and you find a man transformed. Having found a partner (soon to be wife) who believes dreamers should be encouraged and not denied, I wrote and published some short reports and a couple of books about the life changing benefits of positive thinking.
Now, no longer constrained by the idea of having to keep everyone else happy by being who they want me to be, I'm blissfully happy being me and living my dream. I'm currently writing what I call the ‘digital fiction marmite’ (it seems people either love it or hate it!) that is the Alfie Bowman novella series, but I also have plans to write full length novels as well.
