From my youth till my early 20s, I felt the need to be serious and try to be cool....I was miserable!!!
Now, I've let go of all that and just try to be happy 😁 so heres me with a mop for a ginger beard.

‘Don’t make a permanent solution to a temporary problem’

In 2019, I heard this phrase while watching my favourite band from my youth. It would become something I thought about a lot and after 7 years free of OCD & Anxiety, finally make me realise I could talk about the 10+ years as a sufferer.

This book won't give you a cure or the magic to make it go away but hopefully seeing where I went wrong and right, will give sufferers or people close to someone who is, an honest and at time frank insight into what it is like…and hopefully help.

🎉 FREE until Monday!

OCD & Anxiety – A Survival Journey is FREE to download on Amazon & Kindle until Monday.

Discover my 12-year battle with OCD and anxiety, and the lessons I learned while finding a way forward. It's an honest, hopeful, and emotional account of the mistakes I made, the progress I achieved, and the strategies that helped me regain control.

My hope is that my story will help anyone facing similar challenges—or those supporting a loved one through them.

It's also a valuable insight for carers, family, and friends into what living with OCD and anxiety can really feel like.

If you download it, I'd love to hear what you think and hope it helps. ❤️

The greatest companion and inspiration for K9 Bloodline

28/04/2026

I never started writing for money...but a creative outlet. I did it for me and fun. The question is how much have I earn in 9 years....£73 😂

The books I have written so far are for me, the books I am currently writing are to try and carve a living from, but still keep the joy of it and self interest.

K9 BLOODLINE coming soon x
