| Lost2bFound - My self published book |
Duh,
duh, duh, duh, duh, duh duh! That sound doesn't come across quite
as well when typed as it did in my head Lol Maybe I should just stick with a
"Ta Da".
Anyhoo I am very excited to announce the long-awaited release of the book I
have been working on. It is called "Lost2bFound" and came about from
an idea I had long ago when certain people said to me "Glenn you should
write a book".
Now when they said that I am not sure if it was a polite way of just saying
"Glenn you do waffle on a lot" and therefore mocking me, or did these
people genuinely think I had an interesting tale or two to tell.
I would like to think the latter, so after visiting BBC Radio Tees for an
interview in September of 2024 and mentioning my idea, with the host Gary
Phillipson and Gary saying "You should do it", well I decided to
start putting pen to paper, well really fingers to keyboard.

Now I am not a real writer or storyteller, the extent of my experience has been in doing my blog for the last 13 years. I have had various spells where I would attempt to write poetry, and quite recently write songs, which are quite secretive and I only practice to myself, needless to say not in the bath or shower as I would get my guitar all wet or worse still electrocute myself. To be fair I can't for the life of me multitask then go on to strum and attempt to sing at the same time.

So where to start? I found it difficult to try and tell my story, so that the
reader could keep track. You see so much had gone on from way back, yet it had
affected me moving forward right up to the present day. Another thing that was important
to me was to be completely honest, so certain thoughts and getting them down
were difficult and brought up quite a few home truths, where I had to stop and
take a break to ask myself questions about my feelings. I had to also go back
in time and try to recall certain events, some of which were very painful, and
some which were possibly painful and embarrassing at the time, however, now I
can see the funny side.
I am hoping my book will be received well and those people who do read it can
take something from it. I am looking forward to the feedback I receive, both
positive and believe it or not negative, as I think this is how we learn and
can improve ourselves.
My book is available for pre-order from all good book stores or you can find it by doing a search for "Lost2bFound" on Amazon or follow this link.
Oh and the book will be available in ebook and hardback formats upon its release.
Thanks for your support
Glenn
