The completely serious world of a disciplined and endlessly productive author...

From the back streets of Chiswick, stripped of his self esteem, imprisoned not only by an injustice done to him by his so-called friends, but by the deeper chain of society’s work ethic in the paradox that was the early eighties.  Unable to achieve its demands, and so therefore a lesser man.   

From the leafy privilege of Godalming, expelled from three public schools, a childhood of misunderstanding and an over tendency to hit the emotion button, she has found her place with interchangeable front door keys with her mates, unlimited supplies of peanut butter and digging about in canals.  Saving jam jars, saving the planet, Saving Peelip…

Via a rabbit hole in Warwickshire, a campsite in St Ives, and a customised London cab in Brighton.  A foul-mouthed old lady of the highest pedigree, a plague of frogs and Richard Branson.  Neither of them end up quite how they began…   

Saving Peelip

WHAT THE PAPERS SAID

“A masterpiece of fantasy…”
TIME OUT

“What was all that about then?”
THE GUARDIAN

“A ridiculous context, the most tenuous basis for a plot and two of the most

unlikely heroes in  the history of modern literature.   Unadulterated rubbish…”
THE ECONOMIST

“Is this legal…?”

BMA JOURNAL

“Jonny Lightwater?  Oh purlease…”

FILM MAGAZINE

“Brilliant characterisation, overwhelmingly unexpected twists of plot.  I was hooked!"

“Aaaah…”

BRIDAL MAGAZINE

“Victoria!  What an invention!  Just skip the first three quarters…”

“The woman’s a gift…”
