Hello and welcome to my brand new website! Let me take you for a quick tour of it, where you’ll find an updated blog and a range of other pages full of information about my books, as well as my thoughts on reading and writing. Home is where you’ll find my blog, where I’ll be sharing what I’ve been reading, writing and watching, as well as contributions from my lovely family; namely, my partner Simon and our daughter Poppy. You might also find the odd recipe here too… Click on The Visitors to read about how I came to write this novel, its influences and the research involved. Reading Matters tells you all about the books (and more) that have moulded me as a reader and writer. Lastly, Writing Tips is there to help any novelists who want a bit of inspiration with the building blocks of fiction. Thanks for reading and I’ll be blogging again soon…

For your entertainment, I’ve also included an image drawn by Poppy of an eraser with a tadpole on it. Enjoy!
