About the Book
A true life story written entirely by the author, John Reeson all the facts are true and these events actually took place. Trying to come to terms with his life after so many traumatised years John decided that it was time to write his story. This book contains very graphic language and also refers to violent clashes in his family as a child.
John is without a doubt a wonderful Father to his four children, also a Grandfather to four lovely little girls.
This is the first of two books and deals with his life up until the death of his Mother Mabel Reeson in 1983, John then 31 years old tells of his fears and worries at that time in his life. The second book entitled Life’s Harder than Ever reveals the later years and the torment of his childhood recurring when he is left to bring up three children on his own, the youngest been just 17 months old at the time. Then in 2004 the rape of his youngest daughter which traumatised him even more. The perpetrator walked from court free of all charges 12 months later.
I am writing fiction novels now and although I have two novels already finished I haven't as yet had them published, this in itself is expensive and I have to save the money in order to get them launched, I have another 28 fiction novels already started and no idea if I'll ever get them all finished, many great and inspiring thoughts come to mind, all I want is the opportunity to express to the world that I can infact write.
