From this point, James spent almost 10 years either sleeping rough or staying briefly in charity-run shelters it was during this time that he began to use heroin in an attempt to escape the realities of homelessness. In 1997 he returned to the UK and lived with his half-sister, but this arrangement did not last in time, he became homeless and began sleeping on the streets. He was frequently bullied, and began sniffing glue while still in education, becoming a self-confessed “tearaway kid” who would later be diagnosed with ADHD, schizophrenia and manic depression. Home life was tense and, because the family moved frequently, James was unsettled at school. Following his parents’ divorce, he moved to Australia with his mother and stepfather. He is author of A Street Cat Named Bob, which tells his life story. James Bowen is an author and musician currently based in London.
