From the 100 Acre Wood to Neverland and Back: The Stories of Mike

Some stories are easy to tell — neat, linear, tied up with a bow. This isn’t one of those stories. This is a collection of moments — some sharp and raw, others soft and warm — woven together by a man who’s lived fully, stumbled often, and always found a way forward, even when the path was rough. In From the 100 Acre Wood to Neverland and Back , Mike takes us through the places and people who shaped him — from snow-dusted streets in Germany to the red pindan of Broome, from the joy of chosen family to the ache of profound loss. But more, this is a book about identity, finding your own way, and searching for a place to belong in a life which never quite followed the map. What makes Mike’s stories stand out isn’t the scale of them — it’s the honesty. He doesn’t try to turn everyday moments into grand epics. He tells them as they were — sometimes messy, often funny, occasionally heartbreaking — but always real. There’s power in this kind of storytelling. It invites us not just to see his journey but to reflect on our own. This isn’t a manual on how to live life or some polished tale of triumph over adversity. It’s a conversation — the kind you have late at night, over a glass of wine, where truth slips out between laughter and long silences. And ’s what makes it so deeply human. Reading this book, you’ll meet the people who left fingerprints on Mike’s life, walk the streets and racetracks which shaped him, and feel the moments where it nearly broke him — and the people who built him back up. But more importantly, you’ll see a man who, despite everything, chose to tell his stories now, while he still can — because ’s the thing about stories: if you don’t tell them, they fade. And Mike’s stories, honest and unvarnished, deserve to be told. —- ISBN: 9798313044323 | ISBN10: B0F2JCN3PN | ISBN-13: 979-8313044323
