ABOUT THE AUTHOR


The author was born in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, in 1966 but moved to England when he was four years old. He lived in the borough of Hertfordshire since moving across the water, residing in Broxbourne at present with his wife, Elisa, of twenty-seven years and his two wonderful children, Dana and Brandon, not forgetting the four cats. Over the years, he has written and recorded many songs, some of which he would like to integrate into making a musical of The Diary if fate and time allows, but for now he is more than happy to hold such a project in his hands, just to say "This is my creation." ??To those who take the gamble in investing in such a read, he is not foolhardy enough to believe he can please everyone, for our opinions are what make us all individuals. He would like to think that this book, although fictitious, will at worst challenge your brain, giving you a damn good read in the process.
