Description

This book is for all of us. Yes, even you! If you've made it to 18 (or even 80), you probably think you've reached adulthood. Unfortunately, life isn't that simple. This is essential reading for all of us who have ever looked at our lives and thought: 'How am I allowed to exist in society when I'm this weird? Do people seriously not know?' 'I don't know why they gave me this job. I lied on my CV, I was hungover at the interview, and I haven't a clue what I'm doing. I'm pretty much only here for the good coffee machine.' 'I have been released onto the open road in a one ton pile of potential death, with other people in charge of their own one ton piles of potential death. Half of us don't know our left from our right, the other half still can't tie their shoes.' 'I'm plagued with barely suppressed mental health issues, yet I am en- trusted with the responsibilities of actually raising the next generation. Who thought it was a good idea to leave me in charge of a small human?' If you have ever felt any of these things, then welcome - you have found your tribe! Welcome to the madness, dear friend. Read on, and breathe a sigh of relief that there are other beings in this world as useless as you.

Author Biography:

Faith Hancock has spent quite a long time drifting through life, waiting for the right moment for fame and glory to strike so she can swan off to buy a mansion. She has worked for years at writing words for other people, and has now decided to write her own and see how that pans out.She has also succumbed to biology and is now a proud parent of the most awesome child in the world (yes, it really is better than all the other ones. Fight me.)Faith now lives in the middle of nowhere with an ancient smelly dog, a cat that falls off tables, some small feathery descendants of the dinosaurs, and the aforementioned Awesome Child. She's very happy, thank you very much, but she really wouldn't mind that mansion someday soon. William's words give power to the helpless, embolden the meek, provide sustenance to those that hunger, and comfort to those that fear. He's a man, he's a legend - and he can't avoid talking absolute nonsense in his biography. He still can't believe that someone would be crazy enough to publish a single word that he has written.Mother Nature neglected to provide William with a mind's eye (he has Aphantasia - Google it) so he can't see what he's trying to describe to anyone else, and he has no memory, so even if he does manage to remember what he's talking about he's forgotten it by the next chapter.William lives in Somerset, currently. He has also previously lived not in Somerset and, due to procreation, has a houseful of pet rats. That'll teach him. Roxanne has always had a love for illustration and takes inspiration from books that she used to read as a child.After studying GCSE Art and Design, she continued her learning, studying A-Level Art alongside Art History and Photography. It took a while to figure out which road she wanted to take but after the birth of her daughter, her love of book illustrations was re-discovered.
