About the Author
John Cooke had a fragmented childhood when his mother left him with his alcoholic father. He left his adopted family after spending time in the Royal Navy and struck out on his own. He attended night school before gaining a degree and a postgraduate diploma. He eventually became a Careers Officer and fulfilled his wish, which was to help other young people with their decision making, and not to make the mistakes he made. John lives in North Wales.
