They worked as residential child care workers with disadvantaged children for many years before Adrian suffered a breakdown and subsequently embarked on a career as a writer and performer. They settled in Hailsham East Sussex until, in 2009, he and his wife Bridget moved to North Yorkshire to join the Scargill Community based at Scargill House, a conference, holiday and retreat Centre, where they lived and worked for three years before moving even further north to County Durham.Adrian's most well known book remains The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass (37 3/4) which has sold over a million copies world wide, and is the first in a series of gently satirical novels about the hapless attempts of his central character to be a better Christian. It began life as a column in Family Magazine, which is why the central character bears his own name. It is also why this Adrian has a wife called Anne and a son called Gerald, which has caused some confusion over the years as Adrian's one and only wife has always been Bridget and they have four adult children, none of whom are called Gerald!Adrian has written 36 books including three with Bridget and two with Jeff Lucas. He is perhaps proudest of his book of collected poems, Silences and Nonsenses but he has a special affection for Looking Good Being Bad which he says still makes him laugh! His favourite book is usually the one he is writing at the time. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/7d07ebe0-718b-11f1-ae58-237475d85463-rimg-w1200-h600-dc000001-gmir.jpg What to expect...
