Book Description

Publication Date: August 25, 2006

I have written this book, which explains what has been happening to me for many years and how it has affected my life.CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) It all started in June 1978 when I was watching a Granada production of Will Shakespeare. It came to the death of Christopher Marlowe and before I could stop myself I was saying: "I did not die like that" and repeated it over and over but didn't know why. This surprised my husband and he said didn't you mean, "he did not die like that". "No" I said and repeated it again. At that time I had not heard of Christopher Marlowe, only Shakespeare. I read about Marlowe but could not accept all of it. At times this brought out anger and frustration in me, for I knew this was not going to go away.CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) So I started to write it down what came to me and it is not all in this book, but will be in my next one.

That experience took a lot out of me, it was emotionally draining.CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) Trying to put these memories and all the work I had done behind me, I decided to put it all away in a box in the garage. But it didn't go away, for it got worse. Even though I had the full support of my husband and friends I found it hard to continue. They said, "you must get it published", b

About the Author

I was born on the 24 June 1949 in St Helens, Merseyside and when only a few months old I moved with my parents to live with my grandparents in Blackpool, Lancashire.CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) As I grew the doctor discovered that I had an eye disability called nystagmus, which sadly hindered my education and I didn't attend school until I was about seven years old. It was difficult at school, as there was not the help or the understanding for children with special needs then. But despite all this, I muddled through.CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) Time moved on and I became a carer for the elderly, which I found to be rewarding although not my chosen career path. One evening at the end of July 1974, I was to meet my future husband, Neville. Reflecting back I felt I had known him all my life. We got along so well that on 17 September 1977 we were married, and moved to our new home not far from my mother and brother in Blackpool.CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) In 1980 on the 15 June our son was born, and we seemed to be compelled to name him Christopher.CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)My life changed when my husband's company decided to relocate him from Blackpool to Dunstable, Bedfordshire. On 12 February 1981 we moved 'lock, stock and barrel'.
