About the book

A quiet reckoning, written plainly

Book One of The Love Survival Guide. For the first weeks and months after a relationship ends — the nights in the garage, the empty half of the bed, and the quiet realisation that something has to give.

What readers will find inside

Written from the inside. Not a self-help manual, not a set of rules, not a promise that it gets better on any particular timetable — just an honest, plainly told companion for the first stretch of a break-up, by a man who has walked it.

When new pieces arrive

Be quietly told when there’s something new to read

Chapter One

From the opening pages

I don’t know what brought you here. Maybe it happened last night. Maybe it happened three years ago and you’re still standing in the wreckage, wondering why everyone else seems to have moved on and you haven’t. Maybe you’re not even sure it counts as a break up — maybe it was a marriage, a whole life, a shared mortgage and a shared surname and a future you’d already built in your head.

I want you to know something before we go any further. Whatever brought you here counts. It counts.

About the author

William “Billy” Brown

William “Billy” Brown
Billy, at home in Scotland

Billy is a Scottish engineer, author and musician who spent more than thirty years working around the world before he ever thought of himself as a writer.

He writes from lived experience rather than theory — about work, love, distance, and the quieter lessons a working life hands over.
