Our Factory, Our Father

Two years ago last January I received a call in the early evening from an old friend and training partner.

He wanted to pass on his condolences that my father had died. He had read it on social media.

I had no idea of his death. Blood family had failed to mention it. Why would they? My relationship with Peter saw him bully me both physically and mentally, abuse me (non-sexual), steal from me and wish a painful death on me. His handwritten letters, still in my possession were filled to the brim with filth and obscenities.

It got me thinking of him though. His dishonesty, the way he stole from people, the affairs he had (yes, I caught him at it with a secretary in his office one day), and I thought why not?

Our Factory, Our Father is not a book written in revenge, I do not seek it. It is not a book held in malice, I have no need for that either. It is a book about how to be a father and that is by doing the exact opposite of mine. Plus, it is a bloody interesting read and every word said, are true ones.

It should be finished soon and I’ll be seeking a mainstream publishing deal for it. Should you be in publishing and would like to see the first draft, please contact me at info@simonmorrell.com

If you would like to host a talk or event with me then please contact Julie on 07484 331572
