I’ve decided that this year I need to put more effort into selling my books, hence the relentless plugging during ‘One Born Every Minute’ each Wednesday, which I’m sure has bugged the heck out of many a follower. Anyway, there are two great ways at the moment that you can go about buying my books [...]

About ten minutes ago, I typed the final few words of my book for SANDS onto Microsoft Word (which just so happened to be Stevie Wonder lyrics) and sat back in my chair. I had a strange feeling in my throat, like my breath had caught just beneath my voicebox in a stubborn little bubble. [...]
Spam isn’t all junk

Somewhere, at some point in the history of time, some vagabonds got hold of my email address and started spamming me. Their emails follow the same format: rather dubious ‘Sender’ names, followed by long subject titles without spaces between words. Something like this (ignore the top one): Turns out, this type of spam can be [...]
Book Review: ‘Fatherhood: The Essential Guide’, by Tim Atkinson
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged book, bringing up charlie, fatherhood, parenting, review, tim atkinson on June 15, 2011 | 2 Comments »
You very rarely see Nike reviewing Adidas’ products, and exclaiming how good they are. Similarly, you’ll never find celebrity hairdresser Nicky Clarke pointing at someone else’s barnet and going ‘Wow, innit great!’, or words to that effect. It’s a competitive market out there, you see, and things such as this – although quite nice – [...]

Voting has now closed…

With over 2,400 votes, it’s clear to see that charity is something that is close to many hearts. I would love to write for everyone on the list, but to do so would mean disowning my family for a year and living in a log chalet in the middle of nowhere. Sounds good, at first, [...]
Doing My Bit for Charity
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged book, books, charities, charity, children, writing on February 2, 2011 | 102 Comments »
I’ll begin with a confession: I don’t donate much to charity at the moment. The odd bag of old clothes here, a few pieces of shrapnel in a box with a dog on it when I’m waiting for my petrol receipts. When charity workers in vests ambush me on the street I tend to wave [...]

Ha! You wish. Sorry chaps and chapesses, if you want the birth story (plus a tonne of other hilarious stuff) you’re going to have to buy my book. I feel like some kind of evil genius! The last nine months have been a bumpy ol’ ride, like a rollercoaster at Drayton Manor or riding down [...]
