Stephen Ferrett’s Collection of Poetry & Children’s Books

STEPHEN FERRETT
POET & AUTHOR

Stephen has had a love of writing and poetry from an early age, influenced by his travels. Now he is focused on several key areas, mental health and bereavement, Scottish history and landscapes and social outcomes. He lives in a small town called Buckie in the Northeast of Scotland. He hopes one day to publish a poetry anthology charting his own mental health from its lowest point, through recovery on to living a happy and healthy lifestyle, in order to help other who maybe suffering in silence.

Stephen Ferrett, Gecko Creative Writing, Poet & Author of Childrens Book

I would like to take my perspective of me from not only my own view, but from the others who know the real Stephen Ferrett, those being, the most special people in my life:

My desire to find happiness in myself firstly, to live a humble and respectful life and by the mantras I have set myself and read daily. To have continued empathy for others who may be suffering and to use my words and my experiences to give those souls hope.
I would like to think that I put others first, but try and occasionally look out for myself, particularly my own mental health and well-being, as I suffer from PTSD.

My children define me as a Father and role model, I think they view me as old fashioned and techno-illiterate, but a fun guy to be around that loves them with my every fiber.

My partner (My beautiful Jen) defines me and the values I hold. The utmost importance I put on openness, honesty, and love. Knowing the feeling of being soulmates, friends, and lovers.
She might even compliment me on my cooking skills, but also shake her head with my dislike of sometimes having to begrudgingly engage in small talk with strangers, something I’m working on!!

Be safe, loved, and keep writing,
Steve!!!
