Jack Lench

The idea for this book has been inside my head for over thirty years, so long now that I don’t even remember where the idea came from. So why write it now?
I would like to be able to say that I went to university, that I studied English, that I was the star pupil in literature at school. I can’t. I hated English at school. The English teacher didn’t like me either. He said that I never checked my work for spelling and grammar mistakes so he called me lazy and he called me a ‘dullard’ (Suffolk for ‘ dim witted’). Strangely, whenever I reviewed my essays, I couldn’t spot any errors. The spelling looked fine to my eyes. I was none of the things he called me. I was, in fact dyslexic. Millions of people love stories, thousands long to write them but probably never will. They may have the writing skills but not the imagination. For me it is the reverse. My English teacher took away my confidence, my belief in myself to ever put pen to paper but he never took away my imagination. Now is the time to step out of my shadow and believe that all things are possible.
