A FORMER director of communications for the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, has launched a new humorous travel book about the Isle of Man.
Kerron Cross, who now works for a national children’s charity tackling poverty and debt in the UK, said the book focused on his experience of over 30 years of visiting the island in the Irish Sea, where his mother was born.
He described his writing style as: “Similar to Bill Bryson, but much better. And much less ginger.”
He said: “It was a lot of fun to write and will hopefully be even more fun to read. I love the Isle of Man and I hope that in some small way this book will help people who have never visited the island get an insight into what an incredible place it is.”
The book is titled A Dark Stranger’s Guide To The Isle Of Man – a reference to the English translation of Cross’s Manx first name.
It is available via Amazon in both paperback and Kindle versions.
Mr Cross is now writing a follow up, which will be a light-hearted view of his time in politics, due to be published before next year’s General Election.
