It Happens to the Best
My name is Paul L Jackson, I started to write at the age of 58 in 2018. I wrote my first book, 'A Manchester Cop on a Caribbean Cruise', for a £1 bet. The second was a follow-up, A Manchester Cop on a Mediterranean Cruise, which was published in December 2000. and are for sale on Amazon. In June 2018, I left the company I worked at for thirty years, and I soon got bored. At the start of COVID, I took a part-time job at Asda Bolton. On my days off, I walk the streets picking up litter. On such a day, I had the Idea for the short stories. Called 'Pickers ', also available on Amazon. My latest project was inspired by the people I worked with. It is called Search for the Golden Pepper Pot.
Early this year, I joined a creative writing group based at the Height Library. Each week, we are given a list of prompts and about thirty minutes to come up with a short story or a poem. Some of the attached are my responses to the prompts.
