After threatening to do this for YEARS, part one of “I’m just in it for the parking” not only sums up my sense of humour but covers in some detail what happened over the first three years following my argument with a swimming pool in 1998.
My thanks to everyone who’s helped get this over the line and the select group of proof readers, who reliably informed me they were laughing on one page then crying on the next (I suppose that’s what you get for having my face on the front cover).
It’s available through lulu.com, a self-publishing print on demand service which delivers globally. To be clear: I won’t be personally benefitting from ANY profit generated by each copy that will collect dust on your shelves.

My mum’s version is available to buy, also through lulu.com. “Go on my son! Give it some welly!” (Don’t ask!♂️) will give you an alternative perspective on the same events during the first year, available in paperback (£9.99) and ebook (£6.99).
Both are full of humour and heartbreak and have been written to show that even in your darkest hour there is light at the end of the tunnel. Hope you enjoy reading them. If you happen to know someone going through a similar experience to ours, please let them know or get them a copy.
Profits from each of her books are split equally in donations to Spinal Research and the British Heart Foundation.
