I am *not* on X/Twitter. My only active social media accounts are on Facebook, or Instagram.

I love hearing from readers and you can e-mail me through this form:

Otherwise…
Are you male or female?
Despite at least two national newspaper reports to the contrary, I am male.

Are you from Manchester / the North?
Nope, I was born in Bath and grew up in Frome, Somerset. I spent a lot of years living in the north west of England.

Did you always want to be an author?
Not really, but I always wanted to do…something. With the realisation that I was rubbish at football and not that much better at cricket, I went for the next best thing: sports journalist. I have a degree in journalism and spent 10 years working at a national level before the workload of juggling that with writing – essentially two full-time jobs – became too much.

Can you sign my book / arm / arse / baby?
Yes, yes, maybe, probably not. I visit shops to which I’m invited, so if I’m anywhere around you, you can come and say “hi” and I can scrawl my name across whatever you want (within reason). If I’m having a good day, I might even remember how to spell it. If I’m nowhere near you, you’ll have to ask one of your local shops if they fancy having me. Barring that, drop me an e-mail and I’ll see what I can do.

How can I contact you?
The best way is probably the contact form above – but there’s also a Facebook page. I am not on X/Twitter.
