Hello Gentle Reader
As you may know, I have been writing quite a lot in the last few years. One of my novels is based around an amalgam of different teachers I have known throughout my life.
Graham George is a mixture of these wonderful, grumpy teachers and is in no way autobiographical.
You can find it on Amazon. I have added the backcover blurb for you to read and also the Amazon UK link. The book is free in Kindle Unlimited.

“They’re just cattle. Cattle with smartphones.”
At sixty-four, Graham George is waging a bitter one-man war against modern Glasgow youth. Armed with an unforgiving red pen and Islay malt, he rules room 14 with tyrannical authority. He has zero patience for digital progressive learning. To Graham, pupils like Jake McAdams, are just uneducated losers who are wasting the opportunities they have been given.
But beneath his sharp-tongued sarcasm lies devastating grief. For forty years, Graham has lived as a ghost, haunted by the loss of his wife and newborn son. In his decaying flat, an empty wooden cot stands as a monument to a life that should have been.
As Glasgow’s deep tribalism bleeds into his classroom, Graham must confront a brutal truth; he doesn’t just despise his students; he hates them because they are alive to breathe the air his son was denied.
‘A blisteringly dark, fiercely funny, and heart-breaking portrait of grief and tribalism. Graham George is an unforgettable anti-hero.’
