Jerome Barker: Clearance Clairvoyant: Secrets and Lies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781522901556)

Glenn Haigh lives in Leeds where he was born in 1978. As a teenager he struggled at school with undiagnosed learning difficulties that led to him be perceived as being unable and unwilling to learn. Adding to his struggles was the fact he was 'different' to other boys. In 1994 he left school with four below par GCSEs. Three years later, having refused to give up on himself, he had achieved the qualifications needed for him to go to university where he gained a 2:1 degree. For five years after this he enjoyed losing himself in the tourism industry spending much of this time overseas. In 2006 he qualified as a secondary school teacher and has been teaching ever since. His favourite thing to do is hang out with his six year old niece Abigail who provided all of the inspiration for the character Freya in 'The Memory Tourist', which is his debut novel. After publishing it Glenn started to develop the Jerome Barker series, writing and publishing them in chronological order; Secrets and Lies is the first novel of series, introducing Jerome Barker the man gifted with the ability to see the dead. During this process many people pleaded with him to write another Memory Tourist akin novel, which is a completely different style of writing to the Jerome Barker novels. After being told, "I loved the Memory Tourist because it gave me back the person I loved and lost," he knew he had no choice. The Jerome Barker Series has five book instalments four of which are currently published to paper back and kindle edition. Glenn is currently working on number five and hopes to have it finished by the spring of 2016. As he has fallen head over heels in love with the main characters and in particular the ghost sleuthing clairvoyant Jerome, ending the series will leave a huge void in his life. He has the tissues at the ready.
