More news on the movie coming soon 

Former drug runner publishes third novel Hannah Worrall Enfield Times Jason recently published the third instalment in his series of four novels
 
JASON Cook was just 12-years-old when he began selling drugs from his bedroom.
By the age of 16, he had started using Class A drugs and was involved with gangsters in his home town of Borehamwood.
Following his third overdose, Jason was arrested and sent to prison for two years and nine months - an experience which changed his life for the better.
"I joined the education programme, taking computer studies and also volunteered for a drug free wing, where I was given help and support to kick my drug habit," remembers the 39-year-old who now works as a doorman at The Farmer's Boy in St Albans.
"As part of the rehabilitation programme we were encouraged to start writing about our experiences, which I have continued with, and it is what inspired me to write my first book - There’s No Room for Jugglers in my Circus."
A father-of-five, Jason has recently published the third in a series of four books based on his life which he hopes will warn others not to fall into the same traps he did.
A Nice Little Earner sees the lead character Cookster pulled back into an international under world ruled by cocaine where he once again finds himself embroiled in drug smuggling, dirty money and blackmail.
"The books are about my life growing up and the tribulations I faced being used as a chess piece in the London crime world," says the Borehamwood resident. "I hope the message will go out that people should learn from my experiences."
Jason, who is also an actor and producer, regularly gives talks at libraries about his work and his novels are used in drug awareness groups.
His books have been met with widespread acclaim, outselling Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code in a Borehamwood branch of WH Smiths, and he is working on the next in the Pre Call.
He reflects: "Now people are looking at me in a different light. It has been an amazing achievement."

London Book Fair 2017

While searching for the many ways to publish, and listening to how different authors have found or not found their route to publishing and the market, I met the founder of Words Across Time (wordsacrosstime.com and twitter.com/wordsacrosstime) Mr John Park.  I’d had the pleasure of meeting him before at lunch with other friends.  John was also enjoying the London Book Fair and what it had to offer.

Over coffee we discussed what was at the fair.  We’d been to seminars for writers about how the publishing industry has changed, and how publishers are approaching business now that there are no fixed ways - and publishing by Kindle.  If you make a book with a great cover and great content you can get it out there.  Marketing is key.

John asked what I wanted from the fair.  Best of all, I wanted to see if I could sell my writing to other countries, to publish my work there.  If you get the chance to talk with John, he is a man of great talent, and will help you if he can with his knowledge and understanding.

I’m dyslexic and found there was nothing about dyslexia at the fair, nothing that might support it. 
The market for dyslexic readers and writers is very wide and deep but I couldn’t find anything. 
I also thought there would be more books being sold by authors, but there were not.

I walked round the fair and met interesting people from all the different areas of the book world.  
This is what I learnt:  Once you have your book ready, it’s time to get it out to your audience. 
You must build your audience, and make sure you keep engaging in the promotion and its
content to increase sales.  Not only are we to write, we need to build a brand with our work.

After talking with publishers, printers and other companies on their stands, I chatted
with people walking around.  We discussed their journey and how we might help each other as writers.

I came away with a bag full of contacts, new opportunities to try, and new people to tell
about my work as a writer.

If you didn't make it this year to the London Book Fair (before books disappear altogether and we are reading them from our phones and Kindles), there’s always next year –
​the dates are Tuesday 10 April, Wednesday 11 April, Thursday 12 April 2018.  As with this year, it’s at London Olympia.

Thanks to the Team Sean DouglasChief Operating Dyslexic/ Founder

It was great to feel welcomed in and talk about my life 

Jason talks about his struggles with dyslexic those that have it and those that are dealing with it also how it lead him in to crime and to writing.   It was great to meet the team and here other peoples journies and how fare they have come also. 

Jason join in with other celebrities to raise awareness and money for The British Hart Foundation. 

A man from Borehamwood held a book signing for his third book A Nice Little Earner.
Jason Cook, 40, from Hackney, has written his third fictional novel and held a book signing on Sunday, (November 22) in Borehamwood’s WH Smith.
Mr Cook, who suffers from dyslexia, based his books on his experiences in prison, drug addiction and dyslexia. 
He said: “It’s a great achievement. The book signing went really well. I outsold my first book which was amazing. and I was really pleased.  Work has begin on the 4th book but Jason will be launching the 3rd .
