Summary

Gareth has published half a dozen novels, made a horror film, run a 90 kilometre race in which he bled through his shoes, successfully failed to play right wing for Manchester United, attempted the Olympics at 38, wrestled a ghost, been the spokesperson for a company whose head office exploded, been run over by a Honda, survived two almost plane crashes and is currently filming a superhero TV show. And yet Gareth’s story is also your story. It’s about the small
moments and the big events that make up a life. About the few victories and the many defeats, the adventures and the calamities. The missteps and the madness. From his bumbling days at school, to fumbled encounters with girlfriends and disasters on the sports field and in the office … this is a story for boys and men everywhere. And for women, of course, because contained within these pages are vital clues as to what makes the male mind tick (apart from boobs, obviously). Prepare to laugh a very, very lot.

Author Biography

Gareth Crocker’s debut novel, Leaving Jack, was published in London in 2008. After the book’s successful run in the United Kingdom, the rights were bought by St Martin’s Press (Macmillan) in New York and it was renamed Finding Jack. It went on to perform strongly around the world. It was recorded into an audio book, published in nine volumes of Reader’s Digest Select Editions and film rights were sold. In 2014, Finding Jack was ranked as the number-one selling Action and Adventure novel on Kobo. Following the success of Finding Jack, another four of Gareth’s novels were published in rapid succession by Penguin Random House: Journey from Darkness, Never Let Go, King and, most recently, The Last Road Trip. Once again, several of these novels have been published by Reader’s Digest Select Editions – making history in the process. His third novel, Never Let Go, is currently being developed into a Hollywood film.
