My Story

​

as a child I dreamt of being a banker and spent days by the brook calculating compound interest. my horrified parents encouraged me to get a proper job, a career with prospects, like being a writer. They said that I'd never make any money in the city and look at JK Rowling.  "People will always need books," My Dad bellowed, whilst watching pride and prejudice on the telly. accordingly, I studied Literature at the university of chipping sodbury, gaining a distinction, and immediately threw myself into the rat race of creative writing. I ignored my inner voice and made a great living writing childrens books but something was gnawing at my soul.

Despite the creativity, and children's laughter becoming the soundtrack of my life, inside I was empty. My Life changed after a chance encounter with deepak chopra in a new york elevator.  I had always admired his work so I lent in closely, eager to gain some wisdom.  It was then I over heard words that changed my life, "Better out than in."  I couldn't get out of there quick enough.  I had picked up the smell of success.

Looking back, I realise that I'd learnt one of the lessons of the heroes quest; success leaves tracks like a bear with a damaged paw. like a guiding light, Chopra had shown me the way. i wanted to be out of writing and I wanted to be in sub prime finance; i was going to repossess my destiny by repossessing homes.  unfortunately,the opportunitiesin this area are sparse but I am determined to make my passion my work.  I believe that passion is the key, now that i'm following my passion, the results will be passionately passionate because it's all about my passion.  however, in the meantime, please read my first adult novel, the anxious mind of derek dibble.
