The premise behind the book was to limit the stories to around 3,000 words in length, making them appropriate for a broadcast lasting 15 minutes.
Joe was brought up in Hebburn but now lives in Whitburn.
The book can be purchased direct from Amazon, ordered from book stores or at www.joeestewart.weebly.com
