About A Boy’s Journey
My Life
A powerful three-part memoir of life, failure, and resilience.
Book One – A Boy’s Journey follows a tough childhood from an Essex council house to Australia and then New Zealand, shaped by hardship, isolation, and the search for identity. A shy, restless teenager struggles to find direction — until meeting Cynthia changes everything.
Book Two – Fly Like an Eagle, Fall Like a Stone begins with a reckless act at eighteen that leads to arrest and upheaval. Set in the Muldoon era, it traces careers, family life, and repeated attempts to escape, told with honesty and dark humour.
Book Three – Sailing Yarns to Lofty Barns charts a rise to success, sudden collapse, prison, and the long road to rebuilding. A raw story of ambition, loss, and persistence.
