Author Bio - Running For Home - Top Autobiographies

This is the authors bio; "Running For Home"

Christopher Dawber lives in Durham with his Wife and Son. He enjoys motorcycling and driving his sports car. He owns a holiday home on the isle of Malta to which he and his wife would like to retire.

The writing of his book “Running For Home” has given him a sense of achievement that was totally unexpected and has helped him turn his life around. This has certainly been instrumental in helping him to overcome his debilitating lack of self esteem.

He hopes that his varied life can help others to relate to some of his  experiences and gain something from them, if only to have a laugh or to appreciate their lot in life, just a little more.

His vast experience has given him a sense of achievement and satisfaction that is in part a result of the writing of his book. He is no longer bitter about his life and now regards life’s experiences as something that makes you who you are.

The author, now more settled and content with his life, is much happier now that he no longer worries about running for home.

Kindle for Computer? Top Autobiographies

Want an ebook reader? Top tips from Top Autobiographies

Did you know that you don't need a Kindle to read kindle books? The fact is that you can actually read Kindle books on your computer or even your i-Phone if you want to. All you have to do is download the app for this, follow the steps which is quite easy and hey presto you've turned your computer into a Kindle!

My book "Running For Home" is on my own computer since I don't own a Kindle myself. This is no big deal since I can just read it on my computer. Of course a Kindle will be more convenient since it is smaller and lighter to carry around but if you want a taste of what is available from the Kindle store, then this is a good place to start.

You can benefit from thousands of popular book titles many of which are totally free. In fact you need never buy another book again. Many best sellers can be acquired this way since many of them will have what is called a "promotional period" in which they are free. If you do a search for free books on the Amazon Kindle Store, a list of them will appear. I personally think this is fantastic.

Most books however are in the paid section and it will require you to pay for them but unless you are after a particular book, then most of them will be very inexpensive. My book for instance is at a very low price. I don't make much from this as you can imagine but I would rather have it read by more people at first to give it the best chance of success later on.

I really do hope I have helped you with this and it will open up a whole new reading experience for you as it did for me. Thanks for looking at Top Autobiographies.

Therapy in writing - Top Autobiographies

Therapy in writing - Top Autobiographies

When I began to write my book, I did so out of bitterness, bitterness at all the "percieved" failure that I had endured in my life. I lacked self esteem and confidence which led me into all sorts of farcical and dangerous situations in my life.

After I had written a few paragraphs, I began to realise that I had something to say and tell others about. My experiences had value. I began to pour out my soul which gave me a strange sort of therapy and this in turn finally gave me some peace in my life.

On completion of the book I thus gained peace and rather than failure, I began to have a feeling of accomplishment and success.

It's a very strange sensation but one for which I am grateful. If you want to look at my book and get an idea of how I wrote it and why it gave me so much therapy, just click on the link for a free preview Running For Home and thankyou so much for taking the time to look at Top Autobiographies.

My Dog was shot! - Top Autobiographies

My dog was shot! Top Autobiographies

I was born into a military family and my early life was spent moving from RAF base to RAF base. One of these trips saw us in RAF Changi, Singapore. Life was good and there was a lot of emphasis on freedom. Health and Safety did not really exist and the following incident highlights just what it could be like in the early sixties....

        "At one time, there was a stray dog that used to come round because my mum would keep feeding it. I got quite attached to him and called him Ben. He was calm and gracious and I never heard him bark, not once. Then one day, when I was out at the back of our house, Ben turns up as usual and comes up to me and I stroked him. Then a Chinese guy comes along with a rifle. It was pretty common to see guns and I thought no more about it. Then he starts waving at me and at first I couldn’t understand what he was doing. Then it dawned on me. I backed off a bit and I screamed “No!”. The dog sensed something was about to happen and stared at the gunman. He raised the gun, took aim and shot the dog right in front of me. It gave a little yelp as the bullet entered its fore-head. It dropped dead right at my feet. Small drops of blood clung to my bare legs as I struggled to come to terms with what had happened. I guess they were scared of rabies. If he’d missed, the bullet would have hit our house. The dog and I had become good friends and I cried my eyes out. I was only 8 and Singapore was a whole different place in the early sixties......."
