Born in Kent during the swinging sixties but growing up in Hampshire and achieved much success as an up-and-coming middle-distance athlete representing Hampshire and Southern England on many occasions.
One of life’s hard knocks and bad experiences propelled me into writing his first book called ‘’ Two and a Half Weeks’’ after my first and only son was suddenly snatched from behind my back on a sublime and sinister Christmas day in Mexico. Two and a Half Weeks is a very compelling and passionate book about my attempts to recover my newly born baby boy followed by serious death threats, and intimidation. Two and a half weeks has been described as a riveting read and compelling book by avid readers and professional writers alike! Antony is now close to finishing his second book about travel, love and life.
Book Review: Two and a half weeks: A brilliant depiction of how a father stakes all he has just to be a part of his son's life. Weave in and out of the perils of the corruption of the Mexican legal system with an underdog foreigner who is in the battle of his life. This is proof that a true story many times has more twists and turns than the imaginative world of fiction. Follow a father as he follows his primal instinct to love his son and fight injustice. It is truly an inspiration for those who believe in fatherhood.

Hello, fellow book junkies! I'm L.C. Estallene and I write what I want to read! I am a neurodivergent chick and I want to reach other ADHD and spectrum peeps with a writing style that I am still working to tailor toward people like myself! I love character-driven, fast-paced writing. My chapters are atypically short because... WELL... so is my attention span! I love a vast swathe of different genres! My first novella; "Sundown" is a quick 18+ spicy romance with lots of themes and a sequel in the works! At home, I like to curl up with a cat and a book. I love my two geriatric horses more than anything in the world. Lots of authors want their name and face on book covers but I REALLY don't... (hello social anxiety!) I am a deeply private, boring homebody to my core and am going to attempt anonymity. That said; you may never see my face BUT... I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU! I love feedback!
Lovely to meet you!
