Thomas Cleary - England - Author of the short book "Kelsey Left Her Mark"

Today on Tell Craig Your Story, I’m joined by Thomas Cleary — a writer, poet, comic creator, and radio storyteller whose journey has taken him from hospital radio and community airwaves in the UK to a creative life here in Shanghai. After losing his father during lockdown, Thomas began revaluating his life, which led him to write and self-publish a deeply personal short book titled Kelsey Left A Mark — a reflective piece about gratitude, memory, and the lasting impact of a childhood friendship. Writing Kelsey Left A Mark became a turning point, lifting a weight he’d carried for years and giving him the push to close old chapters and open new ones. Now living abroad, performing poetry, writing comics purely for the love of it, and lending his voice to an upcoming game promo, Thomas’s story is about creativity, grief, closure, and moving forward. This is Thomas Cleary… and this is his story.” 👉 Listen here: 🎧 Podbean: https://tellcraigyourstory.podbean.com 🌐 Linktree: https://www.linktr.ee/tellcraigyourstory ▶️ YouTube: @tellcraigyourstory 📱 Connect with Thomas Cleary: 💬 WeChat: @THOMASCLEARY 📸 Instagram: @doubting_thomas88 #TellCraigYourStory #ThomasCleary #KelseyLeftAMark #Podcast #Storytelling #Poetry #CreativeJourney #LifeStories #ShanghaiCreatives
