Twisted Chimneys is Pat Guilfoyle’s story of what he wrongly assumed was a failed life. 

My story begins in 1987. I’m 24 years old and sitting alone in my brother’s flat coming to terms with the death of my mother.

Flash forward 10 years to 1997, which finds me alone, drunk and depressed at the situation I have found myself in, with three daughters by three different mothers. That same night, I stumble across a red-sleeved book in which, back in 1987, I began to write my life story whilst staying at my brother’s flat. This led me to thinking about how most people don’t leave a record of their time here when they pass on, so I decided that I wouldn’t let that happen to me. Tears now dripping onto the pages as I realize my failures, I make a vow to turn my life around and write down, for my family, why this all happened to me.  

Twisted Chimneys is my autobiography and I want to share with you my journey and my motivation as to how I became the man I am today. Piecing together my parents’ past and then my life’s journey, I’ve learned emotionally the reasons for being me… 

Delve into author Pat Guilfoyle’s autobiography in which he discovers that, had situations in his life not happened the way they did, he would not be the person he is today.
