As a young lad growing up on Merseyside, I had dreams of becoming a footballer, or becoming the lead singer of a band, and I thought that, as I got older, my dreams would fade as life became more serious. But they never did. In the winter of 2014, I started writing some children's books that would be fun for all generations as well as promote a passion of mine, the sport of horse racing. As I wrote, I fell in love with these characters, and I can't believe the journey has brought me here. My dreams never faded; they just changed, and this, my book, "The Adventures of Buttercup Stables" is proof that dreams can come true.
