'The Life & Memoirs of Runamuck - Mark Vernon Braddock, An Autobiography'.

Wanaka, Otago

I turned 60 on 29 Aprli 2023., was also my Auto-Biography Book Launch, unfortunately the Publishing Company dropped the ball.

So where do I start, I've looked at funding for it as 50 books will cost $2,468.54 of which I can not currently fund. So looking for a koha (donation), that will include a signed copy of the book, 'The Life & Memoirs of Runamuck - Mark Vernon Braddock, An Autobiography'.

I have written and dedicated this book as a tribute to my father Warren Douglas Hilton Braddock.

The past 7 years has been tough, with a separation and divorce from long time ex-wife, including the liquidation of our company, bankruptcy, now insolvent for 5 years with one year to go, unemployed, and homeless in Wānaka, living out of my car with winter fast approaching.

I am an optimist and even with the fall from a roof causing 2 years of concussion treatment in 2015 and permanent brain damage,I am just living the now.

This book provides me a snapshot in my amazingly full life and entails family, whanau, work experience and travel.

The cost for the first edition of 50 soft colour books comes at a cost of $70 per book, if a donation of $50 is received, you will receive a signed book in return for your generosity.

I look forward to your donation, and it may not seem that important or appropriate, but my story is as important as any one elses and I hope you as the reader and donor, get as much pleasure out of the book as I had creating this Auto-Biography

Nga mihi nui

Kind Regards
