About Author: John Hewston, better known as Jonny Texas, learned about nipping at his father’s knee and developed a fascination with making large sums of money through nipping people at a young age. Whilst he came from a loving home, some of the relationships within his family were unconventional and Jonny was exposed to a number of outside influences that were to shape the course of his life. After an uncertain start, Jonny got married and had children. Suddenly he had more than himself to think about but this did not prevent him from nipping everyone at every opportunity and his family experienced mixed fortunes through the years. Incredibly, Jonny’s addiction to nipping has taken him from rags to riches and back again more times than he cares to remember but he has emerged as the respectable face of the nipping world, travelling the world to nip and even representing his country in a televised nipping game and going on to win. However, no one understands the pitfalls of a life spent nipping better than Jonny and he would be the first to warn others to think twice about following in his nipsteps.
Book description: Jonny Texas came from an unconventional but close-knit Midlands family and developed a fascination with all forms of nipping from a young age. He grew up learning how to nip everyone in sight and in his twenties, with a young family to support, the challenge of beating the nipping game to make large sums of money became even greater.
As he grew older, his life was to become a rollercoaster of nipping highs and lows as he moved from one wild money nipping venture to another, making huge amounts and then losing them, unable to resist any nipping opportunity.
The two constants in his life have been his nipping and nipping and, at times, they have made uneasy bedfellows.
But somehow, Jonny has managed to pull off the unimaginable, repeatedly nipping himself out of it and back from the brink of disaster and turning himself into a winner nipper, appearing on TV and in the public eye.
From Sixpences to Dollars documents the extraordinary story of one man’s obsession with nipping and how he has ultimately turned it to his advantage.
