Why do the heroes of "THE FILM FREAKS" all have disabilities?
I have been asked that same question so many times, so I thought it time to answer it.
The reason all of the characters in this book have astounding disabilities is because I wanted to write a book that showed disabled people in a non-stereotypical way.
In so many books disabled characters are portrayed as weak or pathetic. However, having worked in schools with people who have disabilities for so many years I have learnt that the opposite is true. Many people who have a disability are actually incredibly tough, they often have to be in order to navigate the world that we live in.
An autistic student that I once worked with also told me that he did not like reading or even watching TV because nothing was ever written for him.
This gave me the inspiration to write a hero novel where instead of having super powers like Marvel's Avengers, my characters would be the antithesis of that. They would use their personal disabilities in the only way that they could because they did not have a choice.
Their very disabilities would be the reason that they would be tasked with trying to save the town of Dorchester in Dorset, when something goes terribly wrong, threatening humanity itself.

A Writer Lost In The Sales
Once a year it happens. After all of the festive celebrations end I find myself, like so many others, lost in a world of bargain hunters and shopaholics at the Christmas sales.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I like a bargain just like every other human. However, when it comes to the sales, I truly believe that was the reason that the internet was invented.
I often wonder as I sit in the shoe section of (insert random department store name here), how many other men around the world are doing exactly the same thing in other shops around the world.
That’s another thing, am I the only guy in the world who gives a sigh of relief when he walks into a shop with his wife, upon finding that it has a shoe section? I believe not. For the magical shoe section of any shop truly is the place that I find sale happiness.
Not that I am remotely interested in buying shoes. I just know that if a shop sells shoes, it also has a place where I can sit and ponder the problems of the universe. Usually, whilst my wife happily hunts for bargains.
Whoever invented the humble shoe section, was indeed a genius and a true humanitarian.
Johnny Sawyer’s novel “The Film Freaks” is out on Amazon Kindle now. Available in paperback from 1st Jan 2024 from Amazon and Hardback from 8th Jan 2024.
It is also free to read on Kindle Select.
