I am thrilled to announce that Certified is a finalist nomination for a prestigious 2021 International CIBA Book Award.

“I had a wonderful time reading Certified. If you're looking for a grounded comedy-drama novel, I highly recommend it.”

It is World Book Day and the 25th anniversary of this celebration of all things books and reading. To mark the occasion, I have donated 120 signed copies of my book to the British Heart Foundation.

This is all a bit surreal and unexpected. Certified has now been short listed for the 2021 Mark Twain International Book Award in the Humour and Satire fiction category.

I am delighted to be sharing the same 'Indie Books We Love' Featured Books page as the great Richard Osman on Lovereading.co.uk

It was wonderful to receive this fantastic review from Lovereading.co.uk and be placed in their ‘INDIE BOOKS WE LOVE.’

I am delighted that Certified has officially become a best seller on Amazon.

I went ‘home’ yesterday and delivered some of my books to the local bookshop where I grew up.

I am delighted to announce that the book will be officially published by New Generation Publishing and distributed via all major online outlets such as Amazon and Waterstones on 9th August 2021.

I can’t believe it was November 2019 when I sat down with my wife, Victoria, and said I couldn’t do it anymore. The stresses and strains of work had finally taken their toll.
