Paul Cox
Having been born in Sutton Coldfield, at 15, I joined the Royal Navy as a mechanic and travelled the world. After leaving the Royal navy, I spent 2 years working on the oil supply vessels to the oil rigs - before working in the Hotel and Restaurant trade as a time served chef in East Anglia and Cumbria for 13 years. Leaving the Hotel trade, I retrained as a carpenter and joiner, and worked the building trade and as a handyperson in a factory for 5 years. With me suffering from a stress related illness, I went full time to college in Preston, achieving GCSE's and A-levels, before doing my history degree at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston. That is when I decided to write my book, with me putting in my knowledge of all the things I have seen and done, and all the places and adventures I have had, They say everybody has a book in them: this is mine.
I am currently living back in my home town of Sutton Coldfield.
