Readers have been LOVING The Quizmaster: 'I read this in one sitting . . . I cried, laughed and hugged my Kindle!!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Absolutely incredible read. We have followed Jay since the first quiz right up to now and I honestly cannot believe how truly remarkable he is after reading more about his story . . . If you are looking for a real page turner that you just can't put down you've found it here with this book. Cannot recommend highly enough.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'What an amazing but at times difficult read, Jay has really put his heart on the line in his autobiography, a very brave thing to do.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ------------------- Jay Flynn was down on his luck when the Covid pandemic struck. He had just lost the tenancy of the pub he ran in Lancashire - and with it the loyal community of locals who loved his quirky weekly quiz. As the world closed down, he sensed the quiz could now be a lifeline both for him and the locals - so he sent them invites to an online version. But he had forgotten to mark the event 'private', and on the night, a disbelieving Jay played quizmaster to half a million teams, from Kenya to Canada, New Zealand to the Ukraine. This was to be the start of a global online quiz sensation, earning more than £1 million for charity and Jay an MBE, as well as his own slot on Zoe Ball's BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show. It was all the more incredible because, as a lost and troubled young man, Jay had spent two years homeless, sleeping on a bench on the Embankment in London, almost taking his own life. Rescued by a homeless charity, he'd learnt how a simple community can save lives. It proved a priceless lesson. Now, in his inspiring memoir, Jay shows how, sometimes, you can find the answers you're seeking in the most unexpected places. |
