RBN Bookmark

Biography

"Do greener pastures exist for the colour blind - and how would they ever know?"

I grew up in the city of Manchester in north west England.
The eldest of 3 siblings to Irish immigrants, my story has at times resembled that of a blind man piecing a jigsaw puzzle together..... with bits missing!

It has taken me many years to find those missing pieces, and it is only now in my late 50`s I`m finally able to write an account of that turbulent period in english history I unwittingly found myself a part of.

The story of Ribban Bookmark begins in the 1960s in post war Manchester, he fails brilliantly at school.....
top of the class even - depending ofcourse on which way you are looking up.

His approach to life is haphazard and unfocussed.....he is a dyslexic in denial.
Like a dog looking for a lamp post in a blackout, his search for paradise results in damp feet and foot fungus.

A Minger´s Tale-Beginnings is the first part in this tale of meandering mayhem, misery and mirth.

# In 2016 I had my first short story published in an anthology by Bridge House publishers
