About

I’ve been writing almost as long as I’ve been reading. I’m not sure it could work the other way around. I’ve been writing sketches for my hospital radio show for a long time but a few years ago I decided to write a childrens novel. At the time it wasn’t done from a desire to get my words seen and approved of, but to get my cartoons out there, as I hadn’t had much success with sending them off to card companies. I’m still working on that book (it’s called The Badger Helper Watcher for reasons which become clear in the 79th chapter), but one Christmas, a couple of years ago, I read A Christmas Carol and an idea for a sequel selfishly popped into my head. Fortunately, I happened to be feeling a little bogged down with TBHW at the time, so I convinced myself to pursue ‘A Fifth Visitor Or How Scrooge Kept Christmas’, knowing that it wouldn’t take forever to finish as TBHW seemed to be doing. AFVOHSKC is out now.
