About the Book

Lythgoe follows young Daniel Lythgoe through his endless path of destruction in the 1950's and 1960's. His father is a drunk and his mother downtrodden, what hope does he have? His violent behaviour lands him in prison and eventually the RAF. No one has faith in him, not even when he starts winning boxing matches with his crude fighting techniques. Eventually one man takes him under his wing and the story moves from Manchester and battlegrounds to Llanelli, South Wales where Daniel trains for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. The story is true to life and as gritty as they come. It fluctuates between violence, love, pity and hatred and really is in a league of its own.

About the Author :
Terry Hernon was born in Rochdale. One of eleven children, he came from a hard and underprivileged background, and although small in stature, he learned to defend himself from an early stage. As a teenager he boxed as an amateur and after a stint in the RAF he returned home to re-form the Hamer Amateur Boxing Club, which became very successful. It was as a coach, however, that Terry really excelled, developing a number of outstanding young prospects, one of who, Kevin Taylor, went on to win the A.B.A Featherweight title. The pinnacle of Terry's success in the amateurs was attained in 1984, when he took Kevin to the Los Angeles Olympics, where he reached the quarter finals, before losing to an extremely tough Korean. Later, Terry took several of his proteges into the professional ranks. These included the Connellan brothers, Derek Wormald, who would go on to fight for British and European titles, and of course that great little battler, Kevin Taylor, who twice fought unsuccessfully for the British Featherweight title, losing to Paul Hodkinson and Welshman Peter Harris. Terry did eventually produce a champion, steering Manchester's Joey Jacobs to the British super-featherweight title, when Joey out pointed John Doherty at the Oldham Sports Stadium in 1990. Because of family ties, Terry later moved to South Wales, where he still lives with his wife Glenys at Burry Port and runs a gym in Llanelli. He is in big demand as a fitness coach and has recently been engaged in the physical training of lifeguards. Terry entered back into the education system in 1999 to obtain an English A-Level to help him produce the novel Crystal Serenades are now pleased to publish.
