An Undertaker's Diary: Putting you in the same room as Death!
Paul Reginald Seymour was born in Erith, Kent (UK) in 1959 and, after an 'uninspiring childhood', he left school without a single qualification to his name. Desperate for work he joined the only profession willing to offer him a job at the time and, at the tender age of 16, became an undertaker for the Co-Operative Funeral Service! In his 7 years 'at the Co-op' Paul saw (and smelt!) things that were to change his life forever. In fact, he was so touched and effected by the terrible things he saw and witnessed that he decided to record some of the more shocking (but often comically tragical) events in a series of diaries which he has now published for the very first time. Paul has won several awards (including the BBC Christmas Poetry Award (2001) and the Short Story Award at the Bexley Competitive Festival of Arts and Literature 2 years in a row) for his unique and 'down to earth' style of writing and has had several books published to date (with an Undertaker's Diary being his third).
