A former millionaire who lost his fortune in a divorce is set to return to his hometown as part of his new life living in a caravan.

Jack George Edmunson vowed to change his life following the breakdown of his marriage and decided to write books while living in his Bailey Ranger caravan. First introduced in 1996 as a replacement for the Beachcomber, the Ranger marque took Bailey Caravans from a niche business to popularity.

According to the Kidderminster Shuttle, the 56-year-old is set to return to his hometown of Stourport as part of a tour to promote his new novel The Sun Sharer.

He will park his mobile home in Lickhill Manor on Monday (August 9th) and visit some of his old haunts.

Mr Edmunson used his experiences of relationships to write what he describes as “alternative women’s fiction”.

The novel is part of a trilogy, with the second and third parts – A Path Too Long and Someone Something – due out in September 2010 and March 2009 respectively.

Meanwhile, the Guardian has suggested that visitors to the Edinburgh Festival stay at a local caravan park to help save cash on accommodation.
