Francis Abel was an average working bachelor working at an Electronics Company until his life took a drastic turn when he suffered a severe stroke five years ago. Born in 1960 in Liverpool his life has been vastly varied, from owning a Record Shop and being a Short-Order Chef to working for Global Organisations. His passion for music is a cornerstone of his day to day life along with his favourite football team Everton F.C. Francis has taken to writing late in life as a consequence of his illness and "Greenstreet and Back" is his debut work. It describes his incredible journey back to a new life via an extraordinary epic sojourn in South East Asia. Francis now lives in southern Thailand and is currently working on his second book.
