I served a long apprenticeship. I started writing as a child, and sold my first story at 35. Ten years later I was a full-time pro. In the last 30 years I have written everything from TV drama to company histories, novels to wedding speeches. My latest project? A stage musical. So this blog is a record of one jobbing writer's never-ending attempts to keep the wolf from the door.

After Tuesday's blow when the Great Yorkshire Show was wiped out by the rain, some good news. Mike Pannett has managed to get the UK police enthused about our books. The word has gone out to 140,000 serving officers and their families, and within the space of twelve hours the new release (Up Beat And Down Dale), which isn't even due out until next Thursday, has rocketed up the amazon charts from 2500 to 106. We'll see what happens next.
