John French-Auger was born in a small hamlet in Devon, and moved to Swansea, Wales in 2006. A single parent to an intelligent daughter, he has worked in the care sector for a number of years. French-Auger was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of ten, but no records were kept. After being re-diagnosed in 2010, he decided to write the first-hand account of the struggles dyslexia can present for a young person, his intention being to educate and enlighten minds on the impact of dyslexia and bullying, such as depression. He aims to aid those in a similar position, helping them develop strategies and coping mechanisms to see them through difficult times.
