I swappped the high life for the simple life

Sadly it's not come without sacrifice he's only seen his 12 year old son once this year but Jack says he's freed himself from the shackles of a loveless marriage and the material possessions that were holding him back,cost of rolex oyster perpetual datejust replica.

'I suppose you might call it typical middle age anguish but I love people saying that. How many people do you know who have changed their whole life, who have had the courage to walk away, who have written three books and are living in a caravan and making it happen?

As a self employed logistics consultant, Jack was skilled at solving other people's problems. But dealing with what was getting in the way of his own life wasn't so easy.

Now divorced twice, he was living the high life in affluent Cheshire when he decided things had to change.

On the surface it looked like he had it all. His life was one big whirl of dinner parties and social events. He and his circle of acquaintances would think nothing of splashing out on an 80 bottle of wine, he owned a holiday home in Spain, a plush house with its half acre of land in Cheshire, and had two luxury Lexus cars sitting in the driveway.

But a quick scratch at the surface revealed all was not as it seemed underneath the highly polished veneer. Trapped in what he calls a convenient marriage, Jack was deeply unhappy.

He'd wanted to write since he was 13 but he'd got so caught up in working hard to maintain his lavish lifestyle that he'd forgotten what was important to him.

'I was sat in my study one Saturday morning doing my weekly accounts and I just started to write notes on the PC about what I call "real life" the cost of marriage and all the things that had happened the night before,' he explains.

'We'd had a dinner party and things were said so I started to make notes. I did that for three years,fake rolex perpetual datejust. I was still working as my marriage failed and I turned that into a book.'

He adds: 'I walked away from the job when the contract finished and then went to Catalonia. I said to my ex wife: "You can have as much money as you want. I want to see my son. I'm going to write my book in Spain".'

The end result was The Sun Sharer the first book in Jack's trilogy, written to explore the many meanings of love.

It's no coincidence that the main character is called Jack and the book is written in the style of an autobiography. The plot follows things that have happened but Jack freely admits he's heightened the drama of certain events for the sake of creating a more compelling read. 'The reason that people seem to like it is they are drawn into the plot,' he explains. 'It's fiction but I've written it so that it's totally different. It's written as an autobiography. It's true but it's amplified by 100 per cent.'

Jack ended up giving his wife both homes and 80 per cent of his pension but says she reneged on their deal to let him see their son.

He's now touring the UK in his caravan to promote The Sun Sharer and rolled up in Hayling at the beginning of the week. On Friday he'll be at Waterstone's in Commercial Road, Portsmouth,rolex oyster perpetual datejust for sale replica, from 10am until around 5.30pm, signing books and chatting to readers.

Jack calls the book a black romance and says his target audience is women aged 30 to 60. He explains he set out to shock people and adds that the book is full of messages such as 'less is more' and 'you can't buy time'.

And during his caravan roadshow he's found that women certainly seem to be responding: 'I'm getting women in particular coming into Waterstone's and bringing me cake and red wine,' he explains. 'They want Jack. They want to kiss me and hug me. Maybe it's my feminine side coming out.

'I'd love to find a (wife) number four. I thought I'd found my sun sharer, the other half of my orange. When you find your sun sharer you feel good, it's the other half of your orange.'

Once the trilogy has been published Jack plans to release one more book and then concentrate on setting up his own not for profit organisation, called CITE (Children in the Evolution), to inspire youngsters aged between nine and 13 to look after the environment.

For now though he's concentrating on spreading his message. And that means living in his caravan for another three months: 'No regrets, it's the best thing,' he laughs.

A TASTER

An excerpt from The Sun Sharer

Define simple life Jack,rolex datejust oyster fake?

'That's easy,' but he hesitated. 'A book on fish, flowers and birds, for the area where I live. A real log fire, a simple large room in a beautiful spot where you can eat, sleep, talk and be. A comfortable chair to look at a beautiful view, with a natural garden made up of rocks, trees and plants, with a vista out to the horizon so you can watch the sky as it changes shapes and colours through the days of every season. A radio with a battery pack so you can sit anywhere and listen to it or get up and dance. Walking to the beach to find razor shells in the rock pools to cook on an open fire made from driftwood.'

He drifted away in his imagination before continuing dreamily, 'I want someone who loves me for what I am and not what I seem to be.

'Someone to listen and accept not question and change. To see me as a truly sensitive caring and sharing person and not an over assertive type of guy.

'I want someone who loves me for my inner self not my Mercedes and Rolex watch. For my smile and conversation and not my achievements. For trying and failing but supporting my trying. To share my hurt and pain and joy and laughter in equal measure without question or complaint. To do things with me that I love.
