Howard Ball, who who was a partner at Henry Adam Estate Agents in Horsham for 22 years, has published his first children’s book.
The 54-year-old former estate agent recently released picture book, titled Wilbur and Friends, with Pegasus Publishers.
The book is based on his family’s real-life King Charles Spaniel of the same name and features as the main characters, his two daughters, Lucy and Emily, aged 11 and 15 respectfully.
Howard, who now lives in Kent, was forced to retire as an estate agent in 2018 due to a blood clot on his brain.
Ball told the County Times: “I’ve always had a dream in the back of my mind to do something like this. I loved working at Henry Adams. But I always had other interests which to me were more of an interest than the property market. It was not necessarily a dream to write a children’s book, but that is where it has started.
“What I’m hoping is that the first book is relatively successful and can bring in the other books in time to add to the series. I’m aiming to release six in total. But it all depends on how successful the book is.”
As it is a a book for children, it should be a captive read for an unhealthy number of negs.
