Simon's Latest Project, Get Involved! Award-Winning Author Simon Morrell Seeks Angel Investor for Powerful New Work, "Beyond the Bruises"

Simon on his first book, “When Geoff Thompson first asked me to write a book about my life, my troubles, poor mental health, abuse, but also the happy times, Julie and the kids, achieving my first Black Belt and the glories that went with that, I think, when it came to choosing the title, I became a little blindsided and went with a title that screamed Martial Arts all over it. After all, From Bullied to Black Belt was, on face value, the journey I took.

This isn’t written out of malice, I have none, it is not written for revenge, I don’t seek it. It is just an insight. All boys need their fathers, just not one like Peter Morrell.

For obvious reasons, I can’t name the Liverpool gunman who came looking for the money my dad owed, but if we get the story made into a film (as we are trying) James Nelson-Joyce is an absolute match for him.
