Author Information

Patrick Haylock is a globally unrecognised writer who, if you discount a school sweet pea growing competition, has won no awards whatsoever! He was born in Enfield at a very dark time in the world. It was 1:45 am, to be precise, and it wasn't too long before it dawned on him. To make something of himself he was going to need two things - the ability to tell the difference between a green onion and a scallion, and a good education. Wormley Primary and Baas Hill Comprehensive schools did their best to fulfil both requirements, and after giving them 12 years of his life, they gave him seven printed sheets of paper, and the knowledge that there was no difference between a green onion and a scallion. He also learned that the difference between onions and bagpipes was that no one ever cries when you chop up bagpipes. The certificated wisdom secured a national newspaper messengers' job, which led to an editorial trainee position, followed by a production editors post, and progression into freelance journalism. 'Knowing his onions' helped him to successfully establish his own publishing company, design studio, online retro webstore and high street art gallery. Patrick lives with his wife in a converted Old Essex Brewery, where he claims a 6% ABV air quality inspired him to craft this nutty tALE. Although a 'new voice', in the literary world, those 'in the know' will willingly testify that his gift for imaginative storytelling is engaging, and, amusingly unique!
