Hi Joe,i just wanted to let you how affected i have been by your book which i have just finished.I spent many a page crying my eyes out at the absolute horrific life you have had to suffer at the hands of the monsters that surrounded you.I wish you every determenation in your future life to do your up most to concur your fears and demons.Best wishes to you and your family,take care xx

Excellent website Joe, much impressive, I was in turkey for the last 2 weeks and someone left your book behind called Cry Myself to sleep. I read the whole book in 4 hours, I just couldn't put it down. I now own the book seeing as someone was so rude to leave behind such a brilliant book.

I am so sorry what you had to live through, but I am glad everything changed for you.

And about people hacking your website, can I just take this opportunity to tell them how much of a sad life they must lead, hackers should all end up in prison.

I would love to contact you much later Joe when my new website is fully functional because I would love to add your website as our sponsor to support your website.

All the best,
Daniel

I have just finished reading your book... it took one day!!!! Joe you are truly such an insperation and i am so pleased that you have found true love and a family to love and be loved!!! The past few years i have suffered with depression and the last few months especially have been a chsllenge! Pften coming close to suicide and feeling so alone! But reading your book and seeing what you survived has made me think long and hard about my life. It angers me that people like your mother can so easily have children yet my husband and i are unable to conceive.. i worked with children for 16 years and loved every precious minute of it yeet had to give it up as the pain was unbearable! In your book i just wanted to take you and show you a mothers love! God bless, i really hope the rest of your life you are blessed.

Dear Joe,
I don't usually jump onto an author's website after reading a book, but I was compelled to google yours after I just finished reading Cry Silent Tears. Your story is truly incredible and I'm still in disbelief that you have managed to not only survive, but to emerge from such indescribable abuse to become a voice for others. My friend lent me the book, but I took it reluctantly, as I did not think I'd be able to stomach it. And it was the most difficult story I've ever read. I hated reading everything that happened to you and I was terrified that as a teenager you might end up in jail. But, like many others, I had to know how you could possibly come through such horrific abuse to be able to share your story. It is so wonderful to know that you have finally found the love and support you so dearly deserve. You are an amazing human being. However, I do wish all your abusers could be brought to justice. It's too unfair that they've gotten away with everything they've done.

hi joe, i bought your book 'cry silent tears' yesterday and i finished it today. i've never read anything like this before and i didn't realise how much it was going to affect me. it really moved me, i could really feel your pain.
my heart sank when no-one would listen to you or believe you. i really hoped more could have been done to help you.
i think you're very brave and remarkable. not many people are as open about things as you are and i admire your courage for that.
you truly are an inspiration to us all.

I have just finished Cry Myself To Sleep, usually i find it hard to sit and read a whole book without loosing interest, but this book was incredible and i enjoyed reading it. you are an incredibly strong person and a role model to children as they know that someone else in the world can get through the abuse and trouble then so can they!

i dont know where to start, your story feels so untrue to hear. i have just finished "cry myself to sleep" and i was staight to shop to pick up "cry silent tears" as soon as i finished the book. You are an incredibly brave man, and you are the voice of the children who feel to scared to speak up.

Dear Joe i have just read your book "Cry myself to sleep ".I cannot express adequately in words how profoundly moving and inspirational I found it;as a survivor of childhood abuse myself I Know the devastating scars it can leave a person with.I was delighted to see you have moved on so wonderfully with your life.This website being such a needed tool in so many peoples search for the freedom from the pain.
I too have moved through the torment of my early years,there are still times however when the old insecurities come flooding back..."What doesn't break you makes you"I firmly believe there is a lesson to be had in any given experience;you are a shining example of this....Thankyou soo much kind regards Claire

Dear Joe

I cannot tell you how much i enjoyed your book and would not put it down till i had finished it. I cannot believe that someone could go through so much pain and suffering as you have and come out the other end. I also cannot believe that social services, the schools and the care homes treated you as they did. I work for social services in a care home though it is for the elderly and cannot believe that we would get away with not reporting things that have happened like they had to you. I also cannot believe that things dont seem to have changed over the years, when you still here of child abuse going on. I did read the other day that the amount of boys phoning child line have now increased whereas once it was mainly girls phoning them.
I just cannot put into words how much i feel for what you went through it is hard to believe that a human being can treat a child in this manner. A dog does not deserve to be treated like that let alone a child. I am so looking forward to reading your new book, and have pre ordered it from amazon. I am so looking forward to reading the next installment to see how your life has turned out.
My heart and best wishes go out to you
Ann

Hi Joe,
Just thought i'd drop a line and say that I read your first book and cried several times.
I am amazed at the resilency you have shown and even though I don't know you personally I am very proud of your accomplishments.
I was a troubled kid myself in my early teens until I turned 18 and decided to turn my life around. I am now a Child and Youth Care Worker in Newfoundland, Canada and hope to use my own past as a way of helping the youth of today.
Keep up the Good work!
Julia
