Reader Research – A Favour, Please
With ‘Tuned Out’ due for release in May, it’s time to consider my next book. It would be really useful to understand what readers have enjoyed thus far, and what they might enjoy in the future. With that in mind, if you’ve got 30-seconds spare I’d really appreciate your feedback on the following questions… [Survey […]
My Latest Radio Interview, With Roy Allaway
Bravely battling an acute case of man-flu, I recently visited the Radio Woking studios to join Roy Alloway for the launch of his new ‘Happy Hour’ show. During the show, we were joined by Blobbie Williams – the world’s biggest Robbie Williams tribute act. I’m reliably informed Mr Williams will soon be appearing on our […]
Clement Audiobooks – An Update on the Situation
A number of people have contacted me to ask when Wrong’un will be released on audiobook. I’m now in a position to confirm the situation, and unfortunately the short-term news isn’t positive. The rights to first audiobook, Who Sent Clement?, are owned by the publishing company WF Howes. Since it’s launch, the sales have been […]
Meeting Mungo Thunk, and What’s Next?
I should start this post with an apology. What started out as a fairly lightweight novel, which I intended to complete within four months and cap at ninety thousand words, ended up taking six months and landed at over a hundred and twenty thousand words. Nevertheless, the early feedback on ‘Meeting Mungo Thunk‘ has been, […]
Wey Valley Radio Interview with Mel Montagnon
Despite having to leave home at the ungodly hour of 10.30am (well, ungodly for me), I spent last Sunday morning being interviewed by the lovely Mel Montagnon on Wey Valley Radio. The abridged interview, which is just over thirty minutes long, can be heard below. Because of rights issues, the music tracks have been cut […]

What Was Your Favourite One-Hit-Wonder of 1986?
While researching ’80s music for The ’86 Fix, I was surprised to see how many one-hit-wonders appeared in the UK charts during 1986. Now, I love ’80s music so perhaps I’m biased but it seems like 1986 was a vintage year for one-hit-wonders in the UK. However, with such a broad, and eclectic choice, which […]
Listen to the Music Featured in my Books
I’m a big fan of music from the ’70s and ’80s, and if you’ve read either The ’86 Fix or Who Sent Clement?, you’ll know music plays a large part in each story. From Craig getting jiggy to Randy Crawford’s Almaz to Clement getting sentimental over Misty by Johnny Mathis, I think the music helps […]
My Latest Short Story: The Anniversary Trip
Back in November 2017 – a few days after Remembrance Sunday – I recall reading a particularly harrowing article about a Falklands veteran. I grew up close to a military town so the plight of former services personnel is particularly relevant to me; our town has a large number of elderly Gurkha veterans who always […]
