'All them years that I wasted, and did absolutely nothing, apart from drugs, drink, and crime, which would always come first. Yes it ruined me, really really ruined me, I lost my kids, and everything else. I screwed up, I screwed up big time. There has never, ever been anyone else to blame for my foolish ways, but myself. I have learnt from my mistakes, and one day the world will see this. I am now at the start of making something of myself, Yes it took some time, it surely did take some time. But I got there, life’s different now, and the picture is much, much clearer. I became a writer. And this is my first book.' John Parkin
