Nice tail end from mr. burrows.

[jack watson]

as a new author,my first book is due to be out and on sale in October.it,s title looks like being MR.BURROW,S TAIL END(it,s not rude!).

it,s sort of semi autobiographical,and tells of my years between 1951-1969 (i was 18 in sept 1969).

i grew up in hillsborough up to 14,and it tells of those years and the characters, the schools,the music,the films,the sport,the politics,and the families.

i lived on proctor place next to Kinema,and film had a big influence on my imagination.

it,s not just about me though. there is my wife and a love story there.Also it tells of how those times affected our generation and motivated us to change the world and times we lived in.

i am optimistic for the book,and i hope you will look out for it when on sale.

Nice to see loads of people viewing the posts about my book.Although i have sold all my copies, the book can still easily be obtained through WATERSTONES; AMAZON; ACM RETRO(the publisher).

The book has literally been sold to places as diverse as PITSMOOR and PENANG, TREETON and TRINIDAD;DARNALLand DENMARK.......CATCLIFFE and QATAR.I hope this demonstrates the book,s wide appeal. It,s not just for people in S6.Not at all!!

If you were born after 1945,and lived your life through the next few decades,this book could well be of interest to you.It tells the story of those years from the viewpoint of an easily influenced young boy.

A time of BIGGLES,SUPERMAN,GARY SOBERS,FRED TRUMANN,BRIAN CLOSE,PETER SWAN.A time of JOE BROWN,THE STONES,HENDRIX. The roar of the mountainous kop at HILLSBOROUGH,and the roar of the lion on MGM films. A NICE TAILEND FROM MR. BURROWS is still available through WATERSTONES,AMAZON,ACMRETRO(of sheffield).

On radio Sheffield yesterday talking to Rony Robinson about MR. BURROWS book. It was an enjoyable interview and Rony is a top guy. We talked of old cinemas,s6 in general, and people who had influenced me. hope you enjoyed it if you caught it on air...

yesterday i was talking to Mark, the son of the late FRED PASS,the guy who wrote the incredible WEERZ MI DAD. He told me that 20,000 copies of that book had been sold since publication. i was shocked. That is an incredible figure for a "local" book.

They broke the mould with that book! I doubt if i will come anywhere near that figure when the very last copy of A NICE TAIL END FROM MR.BURROWS leaves the shelves.I will have tried my hardest,but FRED was a true one off at the writing game !
