He left the village to do his National Service when he was nineteen, returned for a short while and then left to marry. He continued to take pride in his roots, however, and promised himself that one day he would write a story that encapsulated the spirit of the mining village and the people who lived in it – a story of the loyalties, the hardships, and the rivalries that epitomise the lives of those in such small knit communities. His most recent book, ‘Quarry Lane’, is the outcome.
Dillon’s career has been in education. He has been a teacher, a senior lecturer in higher education, one of Her Majesty’s Inspectors, and an educational consultant. He has worked with national governments in Eastern Europe, South Africa and the Caribbean as well as with the Independent Schools Inspection Service in England. In recent years he has worked closely with the Education Service of the Archdiocese of Birmingham.
Dillon’s previous books have been Light Me a Candle, his recollections of a bicycle journey through France, and his first novel, The King’s Beacon, the story of the tension between a difficult pupil and a young teacher.visualizza meno
