Dont forget its only 9 days to the launch of my book A Turnkey or Not. This will be a great stocking filler for Christmas. Its also available on Kindle and you can view the first three chapters free as a taster.

The electronic version of my book is now available for Kindle. You can download my book for £5.99. Yesterday I had the first person to actually download my book for their Kindle. Their feedback has been brilliant. I will post here for all to see but it seems this person really enjoyed my book. Yippee

My book 'A Turnkey or Not'

Its 12 Days until release of my new book 'A Turnkey or Not?'

A Turnkey or Not?

This is my first every book to be published. A chance meeting on holiday in Majorca changed my life forever and launched me into a 25-year career in a job that I never would ve considered previously: working in Her Majesty s Prison Service. This book catalogues my personal experiences of working as a prison officer, from my early days at high-security HMP Pentonville to my final years in therapy-based HMP Grendon. Filled with interesting observations and incidences, hilarious wind-ups and memorable characters, this autobiography is the story of a journey, from the happiest days in what will always be a potentially volatile environment to a complete state of disillusionment as an old dinosaur that no longer fitted into the modern prison service world. I give an honest account of my feelings, as someone who would never be a yes man and toe the party line, in the face of a constantly changing environment that had become increasingly controlled by political correctness gone mad and by budgetary needs rather than human needs. I am a man who cared, and even though my heart was sucked out of my job, I never lost my dignity or respect. Most importantly, I  would never allow myself to be reduced to just a turnkey.
