“Hope you had a Merry Christmas. I needed my official copy of the New York Times before I could send confirmation, and it arrived today.
So, I take pleasure in sending stunning and remarkable pictures of the magazine and Art of Deception’s inclusion. I am actually lost for words. When I stayed up writing the manuscript to Uphill, I never anticipated any of this. I am shocked.
I will follow up soon with more information and updates but six movie directors want to see Uphill transformed into a screen play.
Thank you. Outskirts Press started all this, so I have your company to blame, lol. ” – Geoffrey Bott
Geoffrey is the oldest of twins, born into a middle-class family in England. He has three older siblings. He excelled in both sports and education, culminating in being his city’s school track & field sprint champion in both 100 and 200m, participating in city soccer trials and playing for his city at rugby: all before he turned 18. In education he obtained an electronic engineering degree before turning 21.
Throughout his life, he has been plagued with surgical complications which have brought immense pain and suffering.
After moving to America in 1986, he started his own scientific company, having been forced to resign eighteen months after the move. Since then, he has become well known in the field of mass spectrometry and has been involved in two world’s first scientific developments. In 2013 he won an award for a presentation at a scientific conference in Colombia and still gets invited to laboratories around the world.
In the summer of 2020, Geoffrey’s first published book, Uphill, was nominated for an Independent Writer’s award. Uphill is claimed by many to be one of the best books they have ever read and is a remarkable story, not because he wrote it, but because he lived it, and survived. Described by the self-publisher as an important piece of work, it is a story of human pain and suffering eclipsed only by the courage, strength and desire to keep going. He was later told many would have given up.
He remains single and still struggles in relationships. Geoffrey continues to travel for work and his writing has stepped up and is part of his self-imposed therapy. The third and fourth books, the final two in a political thriller trilogy, will be released shortly.
His interests, along with writing, include intense cycling, reading, travel, politics and meeting interesting people.
