Me and My Shadow
Me and My Shadow – Memoirs of a Cancer Survivor is a brutally honest account of one teenager’s struggle to understand and deal with the most feared diagnosis known to society: cancer.
At 18 years of age, John Walker Pattison was thrust onto a roller coaster ride of emotional turbulence – his innocence cruelly stripped from him; his fate woven into the tapestry of life.
After years of failed chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments that ravaged his physical frame and almost destroyed his psychological stability – his parents were told that he would not survive. Yet, today, he is one of the longest surviving cancer patients in the UK.
Eight years after his unexpected recovery, the news that all parents fear, his daughter is diagnosed with terminal leukaemia. Yet like her father, she too would defy the odds and go on to become an international swimmer.
Pattison turned his life full circle and became a cancer nurse specialist at the same hospital that made his diagnosis decades earlier. He prescribes chemotherapy and cares for individuals with the same cancers experienced by both him and his daughter.
Throughout his journey, Pattison’s inspirations were the space rock legends, Hawkwind. He would get to play on stage with his heroes at the Donnington Festival in 2007.
More significantly, he found solace throughout his cancer journey in the history and spirituality of the Lakota Sioux Nation. In 2018, he would spend time on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation with the indigenous people of South Dakota. The same people who, unknowingly, supported him through life's greatest challenge: cancer.

Mundane Insurance
Manufacturing industries are a common knowledge as are the likes of the motor car, television, foodstuffs and electrical goods that exist around us every day and are forcefully advertised. Banking too but it is only true to a lesser degree regarding insurance because if canvasing the average person in the street about insurance they would think only about their life insurance, health insurance, motor cover, house and contents, pet plan insurance and so on. Put like that, it is all very wearisome and therefore hardly a subject worth writing about, or is it? That was certainly the author’s impression of insurance even up to the point of moving into the financial sector from manufacturing industry.
Pursuing the subject a step further, hazarding a guess, if those very same people were quizzed regarding the types of people they imagined are employed in insurance they would probably describe their insurance broker or simply a voice at an insurance call centre. This account therefore will, in all probability, dispel the notion that all insurance dealings are routine and in the main, predictable as did an international group of young insurance delegates at a Middle East seminar, many of whom were totally unaware that the insurance industry’s activities were so diverse.

My Doodle Goes On Holiday
Doodle and her best friend go on their first adventure together, this time on a holiday. They encounter laughter, new friends, and a few accidents along the way.
The two best friends are trusted to go away for the very first time alone and no one knows quite what to expect.
200 miles away from home… 5 days, 4 nights, 3 massive suitcases, 2 teenagers and 1 wheelchair… What could possibly go wrong? Oh, and also, one credit card from Dad!
Although Doodle has Rett syndrome, it does not mean she cannot live a life like anyone else. She enjoys her holidays and having a laugh with her best friend just as much as anyone else, probably even more, and on this trip of a lifetime, she certainly does that!
Rett syndrome is a unique genetic condition caused by the X chromosome having an abnormality. This then causes the brain to develop slightly dissimilar to other brains, which could leave some people without any speech and the ability to walk.

My Doodle is a Little Different
Some people might say that my Doodle is a little different from the other boys and girls, as she has a disability. The only difference I see, her smile is the most beautiful thing in the world and you get lost in her eyes…
This book is about a young girl with Rett Syndrome who has been a massive inspiration to many people’s lives. The book has been written to try and help others gain more knowledge about Rett Syndrome and finding a cure, as well as helping families in the meantime.
Rett syndrome is a unique genetic condition caused by the X chromosome having an abnormality. This then causes the brain to develop slightly dissimilar to other brains, which could leave some people without any speech and the ability to walk.
The word ‘Rett’ does not define my Doodle, she is just like you and me….
The message of the book is to show young children with disabilities that they should be proud of who they are and that a disability doesn’t define anyone as a person. We all are disable, one way or the other. If everyone was to be the same, then the world would be a boring place.
