“There are some books everyone should read: They embolden and they encourage, They invigorate and they inspire . They dare to dream and dare us to do the same. This is such a book”

How many 5 star reviews do I have to get to convince people that my self published book has to be seen as a “Bucket List Book”

The reviews are startling!

Any Year’s Must Read!

“The story of a man who never, ever, stopped believing that the impossible was possible The journey from council estate to friendship with a prince is told in a frank but understated way. It’s a joyful easy read that will make you smile and at times make you want to cry. Read this book if you love music, or if you love people, or both- you won’t be disappointed”

A Minor Masterpiece

“There have been 2 recognised classic music biographies. Dylan’s Chronicles & Ian Hunter’s Diary of a Rock & Roll Star. Now there is a third, A Far Cry from Sunset is honest, heartbreaking and uplifting. A minor masterpiece.” NME

From Pain to Beauty

I have never before read such a harsh experience written in such a soft and sweet way. It’s one of the most beautıful road storıes I have ever read.

A Genius With Grace Who Did it the Hard Way

“This is a must read for anyone who has ever had a dream, the true story of a genius with grace who did it the hard way. if you’ve ever seen Billy Franks play live then you don’t need me to explain just what it’s all about. An incredible singer, an amazing performer, an almost unbelievable journey, and possibly, no probably, the most under-rated songwriter of any generation! Read this book”

I could go on and on. Check Amazon. All agree
