Co-author, wrestling historian and founder of The Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame for Scotland, Bradley Craig has contacted us to let our readers know of an upcoming book signing with Jeanie Clarke.

“Jeanie will be making her first ever book signing in Aberdeen, on 6th October in Blackwells Aberdeen (99 High Street), and we think that this event will be of interest to your readers, as it is a rare public appearance from someone who was instrumental in the rise of the biggest star in wrestling history. It also reaches out with a positive message on the dangers of drugs, and how determination can overcome addiction. “

About the book:

Jeanie’s book covers her entire life story, from her tough and impoverished early life in England, to her breakout mainstream celebrity as a member of Joint Promotions (the national promotion of the UK scene in the 1970s and ’80s), where she managed the career of her then-boyfriend Chris Adams.

Her autobiography follows her relocation to the United States, where Jeanie became a mother. It reveals details of her modelling career and the end of her relationship with Chris, leading to the unique circumstances which led to her first marriage with Billy Jack Haynes.

Thereafter, Jeanie became a business entrepreneur, before being offered the role of a manager to an unknown rookie named ‘Stunning’ Steve Austin.

Their friendship bloomed into a romance, and they were married. However, with fame came the temptations of a touring performer, which slowly tore apart their family. Many people know the story of how the name ‘Stone Cold’ came to be, however, this account reveals, for the first time, the truth behind the Austin 3:16 brand. It analyses the painful torment on both sides as their marriage dissolved.

The story culminates in her private war with addiction, a problem that claimed the lives of so many of her friends and colleagues within the wrestling and mainstream entertainment industries. It is an inspirational battle of which Jeanie still faces the consequences.

She now hopes to share her battle to help others facing the same horror.

Tragically, her powerful story has been made more relevant in light of recent events.

The Meet and Greet with Jeanie is free to attend. £20 for a signed copy of Through The Shattered Glass.

8×10’s will be available plus a free photo with every book signed.

If you can’t make the signing, Through The Shattered Glass is available on Amazon.
