Martin Gillott, better known in the wrestling world as Jackie 'Glitterboy' Evans, knew early in his career that life in the ring would be no walk in the park. Posing as a blond, Lurex-clad gayboy who liked to fight dirty was great for ticket sales, but not so good for his health. He was knocked out five times in his career - always by a furious fan, never by his opponent. Yet Martin loved the game, and wouldn't change a day of his 12-year professional wrestling career. Now he tells all, including hilarious accounts of adventures in and out of the ring, fans violent and amorous, landladies who were scarier than Giant Haystacks and girls who were faster than Mick McManus. And then there were the many well-known names he rubbed shoulders with along the way, from Brian Glover to John Le Mesurier. Confessions Of A Wrestler will have you in stitches - just like 'Glitterboy'.

I titled the book "Steam on Steel" but in my mind it will always be "A Week Too Late".
I had designed the book on my laptop, I showed my wife the layout and uploaded it to Blurb.com. She died on Feb 15 and the book arrived on Feb 19.
A week too late.

Monrovia’s favorite bear reached celebrity status when the news media and word of mouth told his story. When younger he roamed the local mountains living a normal bear life. Like many of us he grew older and life became more difficult. Garbage and a hot tub provided the easy life. His tired old bones were soothed by the warm water. Attempts were made to stop his Hot Tub visits. Sadly he ingested a plastic bag and became ill. Samson was a “Garbage” bear and no longer could be released in to the wild. Talk was that he had to be destroyed. Monrovians and the public rallied to his support. He was saved, but where would he go? Forest DeSpain director of the Orange County Zoo built an enclosure complete with a Hot Tub. Samson enjoyed his last days. He passed on to the Great Hot Tub in the sky on May 14, 2001

Middle-aged Jennifer Green is living a life of quiet despair following her husband’s confession of an affair – until she encounters a half-crazed hobo who appears to know more about her than she does herself. Thanks to the tramp’s strange powers, Jennifer suddenly finds herself 25 years younger, with the figure and face of a goddess and every millionaire in New York trying to date her. When Jennifer moves in with her own unsuspecting daughter she takes up ‘honey trapping’ to catch cheating husbands, even checking out her daughter’s dodgy fiancé. But then her killer combination of stunning beauty and mature wisdom makes her a star on prime-time TV, and she begins to realise that there is an astonishing connection between the hobo, the handsome stranger who once nearly hijacked her wedding and the rich, successful and impossibly handsome media tycoon who now sweeps her off her feet.

If only he’d been my husband…”
