ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Eye am an author/historian/publisher/satirist. Eye am also a racist: I am particularly fond of such races as the men's Olympic 100 metres and the Monaco Grand Prix. Eye graduated from the university of Bradford in 1993 with an M.A. in European Studies. Eye am a commentator on topical issues and developments in the field of sport and in the murky world of politricks. Eye have also appeared live on stage a few times as a stand-up comedian in London several years ago. Eye have been interviewed on Radio Five Live a couple of times in London, including an appearance on 'Pienaar's Politics' and also for 'Arts Extra' on Radio Ulster in Belfast, but eye generally have been skirting around the periphery of the media.
In April 2012 the author, aka Gary Watton, submitted a request to the UK's Ministry of Justice to have the Royal Pardon posthumously bestowed upon Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, and Lady Jane Grey. He also requested that the UK government belatedly issues a statement which nullifies the nonsense crime of heresy against the Catholic and Protestant martyrs of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Regardless of whether or not such appeals prove initially successful, Gary at least has made the first trailblazing moves to correct such miscarriages of justice. It may be that others will take on the baton to ensure eventual success.
Eye have written nineteen books, and it was revealed by the UK public lending right agency that my publications have been borrowed 1,531 times between July 1st 2009 to June 30th 2011 by libraries throughout the United Kingdom. Oh and eye am a devotee of puzzles and quizzes, and eye have appeared on Channel Four's 'Fifteen To One' in December 1997 and on Channel Four's 'Countdown' in January 2006 when eye was narrowly defeated during a cliffhanger game that went down to a 'crucial conundrum'.
If you are someone with a passion for popular music, then feel free to immerse yourself in the assembled nuggets and trivia on the following site of mine: http://gw930.blog.com/musicologist
Eye am articulate and 'a bit opinionated', the latter arising out of my disdain for inequality and injustice. Eye am particularly offended by the accumulation of wealth, and as a practising Christian, eye see no connection whatsoever between luxury or wealth and the life and teachings of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
