Derek is my real name and Kurtis is my pseudonym! Both Little Boy Wild and I were born in England and came to Canada in 1948. Our life over the years is portrayed through Little Boy Wild and of course includes our multiple personas. So you will know all or more about the author than he knows about himself!
"We" - being one person in reality, had many incredible and funny adventures. Interestingly, when the book was completed, I - Derek, often found upon reading the manuscript that I was seeing it for the very first time! I can only assume that the greater part of this book was written, between tears and laughter, by Little Boy Wild!
It gives us joy and a warm feeling all over to know that we are not alone, and through sharing our experiences, we achieve a great sense of "belonging". More importantly, we now have a sense of tranquility and are at peace within, and with the world!
