Jack Carnegie
I’m a Liverpool born writer, with a story to tell, I started writing when I was very young, I used a school rough book and made stories up, penning them down and as I got older I decided to actually take it serious. I’ve a good friend who motivates me and tells me where I’m going right or wrong, a hobby I’ve had is now a physical thing. A revue is always welcome and if you leave a contact email I'll always try and get back to you it makes it all worth the effort of writing the books in the first place.
