Dad, husband, son, brother - I write thrillers, I read, I watch films and I walk a lot. I also have a deep love for trashy horror from the 70s and 80s (paperbacks and films).

My latest novel, TO SEE TOO MUCH, is out now!
https://mybook.to/ToSeeTooMuch
Pinned
It's summer 1985 and Dan is 16, on holiday with his recently divorced mum, Jude. The last thing either expects is to get involved in a murder mystery....

Happy anniversary to my gorgeous wife, Alison.

Our first date was on the 6th of June 1992 and we got married 6th of June 1998.

33 years as a couple, 27 married.

I'm a lucky man.

(plus we got Dude out of it all too!)

Since that summer reading list came out last week, it was filled with non-existent books thanks to a stupid move by the author. I decided to start my own. Today, part one goes live.

Check it out here 😀

And, just like that (it appears), I'm the dad of a 20 year old! Happy birthday to the wonderful, funny, caring, absolute delight to be with that is my Dude. I couldn't be prouder of the great person he's turned out to be & look back on our adventures with a huge sense of pride!

I wonder how those self-confessed "far right and proud of it" people are coping today, as they do their patriotic duty to celebrate VE Day and suddenly think "Hold on, wait a minute..."

Happy, happy birthday to my brother-from-another-mother and oldest friend in all the world (this years marks 49 years of friendship!) @curlymiaggi.bsky.social

I loved ghost stories when I was a kid (and still do), but look at the glorious covers on these paperback anthologies from Fontana. "Horror" is the 1982 edition, "Ghost" is from 1975.

Sad to hear that Clem Burke, the excellent and manic drummer for Blondie from the start, has passed away. What a great musician and showman he was and so pleased I got to see him play live (and shredding his drumsticks).

It is with profound sadness that we relay news of the passing of our beloved friend and bandmate Clem Burke following a private battle with cancer. Clem was not just a drummer; he was the heartbeat.....

My 4th novel from @thebookfolks.bsky.social was STILL WATERS RUN, which combined a lot of my favourite things - a mystery, the 80s and a coming-of-age story. It was on a Bookbub deal earlier this week and has had over 100 ratings since then! Check it out!
