Hello fellow writers and book fans :) My name is Mark J Tolley and I live in Redditch, Worcestershire, UK. This is my first ever attempt at writing! Yikes! Four Minute Warning is my first ever novel; an idea borne from a deep frustration I have been carrying for fifteen years after I suffered a massive brain haemorrhage at just fourteen years old. Suddenly faced with my own mortality at such a young age I was forced rebuild my life from scratch. Although I have listed Four Minute Warning as a fictional story, it honestly and accurately chronicles my journey back to health and fighting for my independence as a teenager - the fictional elements are very minor indeed and only serve to aid the flow of the novel. Suitable for everyone, however I particularly recommend it to anyone who is currently dealing with the effects of a stroke or brain haemorrhage or knows or is caring for someone who has. If it helps just one survivor or their loved ones deal with their condition or gives them the courage not to give up on their recovery, then I will consider it a triumph. My book is a celebration of the fragility and power of life.  I hope that anyone who purchases Four Minute Warning will find it inspiring and humorous, as well as dramatic and thought-provoking. Suitable for all, but please note there are a couple of uses of strong language. Thanks for reading - I hope you enjoy my work :)
