Tripping Overis a true story of life in post war England in the 1950s and 1960s. It tells the story of John, who grows up in the shadow of his dad, a returned war hero. John senses he is different but not in a good way and knows he has big shoes to fill. He is not coping well. Beleaguered and confused, poor judgement and clumsiness dog his every move.

When his parents visit the annualEarl's Court Motor Showto buy a new car but return with a boat instead - turmoil follows. Later he is almost killed on a disastrous wild horse ride on Rotten Row but is he really guilty of the police accusation of fraud? As a teenager John explores his sexuality, only to fall in love for all the wrong reasons.

John's self-deprecating reminisces are often illuminating as the reader accompanies him on his bittersweet journey of both triumph and disaster.

John's first bookReluctant Hero, is about his dad, Bill, who was a Lancaster bomber pilot in WW2.Tripping Overis its sequel.Sex, Lies and Crazy People,published in 2014, follows on fromTripping Over.They are all true stories.
