Biography:

I was born in 1976 and always wanted to be a footballer from a very early age. I could have made it too, if I wasn't rubbish.

Upon leaving school, I decided to go to college and study TV & Radio Production in between the time when a big famous football club would spot me kicking a ball around the streets of Coatbridge and sign me up.

I then left college and decided to go work as an advertising scriptwriter, in between the time when a big famous football club would spot me kicking a ball around and sign me up.

I now write children's books. You know. In between times.

About writer's events and projects:
I'm keen on doing anything that helps promote me as an author and my books including doing visits to libraries, schools and attending festivals.
