Why Billy Bennett was written.

They say you should write about what you know, so what better place to begin than the place I grew up? When Jackie, my partner of 34 years, suggested I write a book, I thought she was joking. Me? Write a book? I hadn't read enough to fill a tiny shelf, let alone considered writing one myself. The idea felt absurd, an impossible mountain to climb. Yet somewhere, her words awakened something deep inside me, a spark I didn’t even know was there—the seed of a storyteller.

 Now, this didn’t just happen in a flash. No sudden epiphany or lightning bolt of creativity. For weeks I found myself daydreaming, piecing together fragments of ideas before I found it—the story I wanted to tell. A beginning, a middle, and an end, all falling into place like a puzzle I didn’t even realize I was working on. And I’ve got to admit, once it clicked, a rush of excitement so overwhelming took over, I had to sit down and write, having no clue what kind of rollercoaster I was about to board.

I’ve often heard people say, “Anyone can write a book.” To that, I say—with a dash of humour—go ahead, knock yourself out! Writing has proven to be the most challenging thing I’ve ever done. As someone who's dyslexic, reading has never come easy to me, so writing has been an even greater mountain to climb.

Now, I’ve finally finished my debut novel. Along the way, I've made mistakes, but I also received invaluable feedback from beta readers that helped to shape Billy's story. I’ve deleted chapters, rewritten them, and edited until my eyes ached. But today, I’m proud to share Billy's story with you. I’m confident you'll enjoy this tale as much as I've loved bringing it to life.
