My books, I hope appeal to the sense of humour of the male reader in his 40’s. At some point in our lives we have all found ourselves in the kind of situations that Jonathan does. My influences have been two terrific authors in Mike Gayle and Nick Hornby.

An IT consultant by day, I really always wanted to be, in the words of the Beatles, a ‘Paperback Writer’. So finally I have released my first fictional romantic comedy, ‘First Years – Piranhas in the Bedroom’. Hopefully the first of a series of nostalgic books about an unfortunate young man called Jonathan Stadler, a Villa fan like me.

Next up in my mid-life crisis: launching a series of children’s books. Do you think the world is prepared for ‘King Derek and the Wonder Wizards’?
