Co-written with John Clark, Bob Ellis and Barry Dickins respectively, these three screenplays make a trilogy of love and death, the two great themes of Paul Cox's work. Lonely Hearts is a story of first love; My First Wife, the story of the disintegration of a mature relationship; and A Woman's Tale, is about the surviving partner of a wartime marriage who is succumbing to cancer. In all three films death is a constant presence and religion a broken need. Only love, made more precious by the prospect of its 'imminent, final interruption' gives meaning to life.About the Author
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.
