My personal journey as a writer: Retired teacher. Youth worker during 70's and 80's in the West End, working with Young Runaways at a specialist Underage refuge for Children. ‘Centrepoint’ Night Shelter Worker, during its early days. Manager of Children's Homes, Observation and Reception Centres for the young. Father of two and six grandchildren. This book has been in the writing for a very long time, but had to wait until I retired before I could give it the justice it deserved. Qualified as a Youth Worker, Reading, Bulmershe College. Have a degree in Psychology, Goldsmith's and Teaching Certificate.
