From the Driving Seat to the Hot Seat is a real-life memoir of what happened during an appearance on television that changed my life. Some readers will see that in March 2025, I appeared on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? a television show for which I've had a long appreciation.

Described as a "quiz master" by a regional BBC news programme. Also referred to as a fruity four-letter expletive by a Scouse woman online.

Jack Soley was a bus driver turned cobbler who had always had a dream of being a quizzer. Days before his 27th birthday, he successfully clinched a substantial prize on a hit game show.

He addresses frequently asked questions and emphasises his most unforgettable experiences before, during, and after being in the spotlight. Soley's deadpan style is prevalent in his anecdotes throughout this memoir.

"The Cities Are Soundless"

I have a folder on my computer called "Pandemic London" that has photos from my old phone. I didn't think I would use them, but it turns out some of the photos weren't taken in London. Explore a visual story showcasing our collective experiences during the 2020 pandemic. It was a time when the earth appeared to stop. The Cities Are Soundless exhibition features my phone's photos that capture meaningful moments. It made me reflect on the things I had planned but couldn't do, and how life would never be the same for many people after this.

We lost motivation, sense, lives, and confidence in the economy and ourselves after taking most of these images. For me, it was a bad time and the end of what I’d describe as my golden age. These photos show quiet and empty cities that are usually busy.

They were taken between March 22, 2020 and April 5, 2020, in Swindon, my hometown, and during a trip to London before strict rules were implemented.

4th Useless Facts Book Coming in 2026

3 books on useless information are the biggest earners and are the most popular books that I write; the journey of the books being released came one night in Oxford after visiting my aunt in the hospital on the 11th January 2023. The book had become an immediate success after I decided to press the button to launch the book, it has become a hit in the trivia sections ever since...

Considering that the useless information books are popular and that "Useless Facts That Nobody Wanted To Know" is a popular series with a following, I have made the decision to announce today that Volume 2 of 1,000 Useless Facts has begun! Estimated release may be much later than normal due to so many commitments in the next 12 months (i.e. buying a house and getting married).

I personally anticipate the book to be out by November/December 2026, regulars of this website will have access to pre-order the book before anyone else and as with all of my items on the Pomerak Ventures shop, you cut out the middleman and this will be the same price as elsewhere.

The Best December We've Ever Had

It shall come as no shock that December is always a busy time for book sales, it's always lots of purchases whether it's gifting or for personal use; for Amazon sales only where the majority of sales are conducted (the run up to Christmas): 113 units were sold making royalty estimates of £238.

At least one unit has been sold every day consecutively since the 22nd November 2025 (37 days in a row with a sale, the streak ended on the 29th December).

Monday 14th to Monday 21st December marks the most units sold in a 7 day period, with 44 units sold!

Many records broken and this is undoubtedly encouraging me to write more books for next year!
