Hide AdFrom his childhood in Essex, where he used to pretend the woods and irrigation ditches in the fields behind his house were the Amazon rainforest, to finding himself travelling through the real thing thirty years later, his life has taken many twists and turns.
Through it all he says there has been no plan, no roadmap, no strategy.
Getting lost at sea to setting a sacred island on fire, auditioning for his part on EastEnders to filming in active war zones across the world, the tales are, by turn, heart-warming, hilarious and hard-hitting.
The Lytham event will include a welcome drink and signed book on arrival, followed by lunch, author talk and audience Q&ATickets, costing £37 each, can be obtained from the bookshop at 87c Clifton St, Lytham FY8 5ER, or by telephone on (01253) 796958.
