Haunted House Scarborough

📘 MY BOOK – Creator, Father & Survivor

I wrote this book myself.
Not a ghostwriter. Not a brand. Me.

Creator, Father & Survivor is my real story — the parts you see on YouTube, and the parts you don’t.

This book goes deeper than the channel. It’s about real life, not highlight reels.

Inside the book, I talk honestly about:
• growing up and where I came from
• becoming a dad and what that responsibility really feels like
• mental health, anxiety, burnout, and coping
• work, pressure, money worries, and survival
• mistakes I’ve made and lessons I learned the hard way
• why creating content became more than “just YouTube”
• how chaos, humour, and honesty kept me going

If you’ve ever felt like you’re just trying to get through life one day at a time, this book is for you.

If you’ve followed Random & Desperate, this is the unfiltered version — the backstory, the context, and the things that are hard to say on camera.

📚 WHERE TO GET IT

The book is available ONLY on Amazon — nowhere else.

You can get it in three formats, depending on how you like to read:

📱 eBook
Perfect if you want to start straight away or read on your phone or Kindle.

📖 Paperback
A proper physical copy you can hold, underline, and come back to.

This is the most complete version of the story.
The hardback includes an EXCLUSIVE EXTRA CHAPTER that is not available in the eBook or paperback.

If you want the full story, the hardback is the one to go for.
