Tommy Kennedy 1V’s extraordinary life began against the backdrop of the bleak industrial northern town of Warrington. In this brutally honest autobiography Tommy describes a chaotic childhood where home is variously in a caravan, a convent and care homes. His parents are childlike and irresponsible and his life is unpredictable and unstable. Without any parental guidance by the age of 21 Tommy had completed 7 custodial sentences. Within this environment Tommy learns how to survive and thrive in a world of petty crime, scams and horrific risk taking behaviour. He escapes Warrington by bursting into an intoxicating world of plane hoping, class A drugs, glamorous women, 5 star hotels and exotic locations. The rollercoaster then stops abruptly in a long prison sentence in the notorious General Penitentiary of Jamaica where life becomes a daily struggle amongst murders and rapists. Here, Tommy finally reflects on his life and a descent into darkness reveals the truth of what he has been running away from. A picture emerges of a shattered past and an understanding of raw fear. A fear, arising not from the iron clad batons brandished indiscriminately from the sadistic guards, but from an inner world where demons reside in the recesses of his mind. A chance meeting with a remarkable woman enables Tommy to begin his transformation and he takes his first tentative steps into a new more spiritually enlightened direction of his life thereafter.

I am on Instagram and Whats App and it is the way forward. I am writing a second book in the meantime.

"Justommy Nightmare in Jamaica "

Introduction

This is the first volume of my autobiography and it is an honest account of the trials and tribulations of my life until the age of Forty Three.

I have kept these secrets for many years and I believe now is the appropriate time to reveal them. I started to write in January 2018 .
