That Fat Bloke from Bolton
A True Story
Breaking Through the Surface
|
For years, a story has been growing in the background of my life, quietly at first, then louder, until it refused to be ignored. It followed me through the wreckage of my past, across continents, and into the heat and colour of India, China and Thailand, where I ended up running a charity and rebuilding a life I never expected to have.
That story is CRACKMASK. It’s not fiction. It’s the truth about the decades I spent hiding behind the Buffoonns mask I built myself. A mask I wore sometimes for show, but always for survival. That mask travelled with me through every version of my life, held together longer than it should have, and finally began to split in ways I couldn’t patch over anymore. CRACKMASK is what leaked through those cracks. |

It’s raw, sometimes dark, sometimes unexpectedly funny, and always real. Writing it has been a long, messy, necessary journey, one that’s still unfolding as I move toward publication in June 2026.
If you’d like to follow along as the book takes its final shape, the updates, the setbacks, the small victories, the honest bits, you’re in the right place. This site will be where I share the road to release, one step at a time.
The mask is off, and the story is coming.
