INSIDE – William A. Pollard

I know that you know that there is a lot going on inside your body.
Educated people, like professors, and doctors, and nurses, and teachers, and first aiders, and paramedics all have long, indescribable and sometimes unpronounceable names for the things that they think work inside you to keep you upright.
Names like Epididymis (that’s my favourite), and Oesophagus, and Duodenum. The truth is, your anatomy and physiology are far more interesting than you think.

What you don’t realise is that there is a whole community of tiny workers managing your insides. A really, really tiny community of people with the singular purpose of keeping your anatomy and physiology working in first class condition. They’re happy looking after your insides… Until something goes wrong.

Born in Sheffield, in 1950, Bill is now retired and lives with Sheila, his wife of over fifty-four years. In 1966, at the age of 15½, he joined the army and enjoyed many overseas postings, with tours in Northern Ireland, France, Cyprus, Kenya, Iran, Bermuda and the USA.
He culminated his Army career in 1977 as an instructor. Since leaving the army Bill has been employed as a television and film extra, a building surveyor, a lecturer, technical adviser to an insurer and, just prior to retirement, as a self employed health and safety consultant. Bill is a published author and is also a published music composer and arranger.
