Wallace is a new (but retired) children’s story teller – in the United Kingdom! His first book, entitled: The Magical Adventures of Jimmy Crikey, is about to be published (1st week of December), by Blossom Spring Publishing, UK.
Wallace was born and raised near Durham City. He married his wife, Pat, in 1964 and they lived in Sussex and Hampshire before moving to beautiful rural Lancashire, where they reside today.
The Magical Adventures of Jimmy Crikey is about a boy, with an unusual appearance, who runs away into the forest to escape ridicule and finds a new underground world. In that world, he discovers and saves the town of Roombelow from the curse of a sleeping spell! Jimmy finds a home in Roombelow, where he feels accepted, and begins a series of extraordinary adventures involving magic, mystery, monsters and mayhem.
Jimmy Crikey was born one rainy day, many years ago, during a family holiday in Great Yarmouth, to entertain Wallace’s son and his new friends for an hour or so. The story expanded over the following damp afternoons in the cramped confines of a beach tent, and more and more adventures were required to keep the children entertained. Many years later Wallace decided to commit to the written word. Now retired, he looks forward to sharing The Magical Adventures of Jimmy Crikey with a wider audience.
When Wallace is not telling or writing stories, he enjoys playing his Hammond organ and painting scenes on pottery.
