New book

Hello Goodreads 👋
My brand new stand-alone Christmas novella, Left at Number 17, is out now.
It’s a funny, quietly moving story about neighbours, missed deliveries, and the small acts of kindness that sneak up on you at Christmas.
Thank you so much for following my work — it honestly means a lot.
Happy reading 🎄

“In any meeting, there is always one tit who raises their hand at the end. That one person who has such a forensic approach to detail that the whole room has to wait for a further half-hour whilst their absurd question is given the respect management like us to think that they think we deserve.”
James Crookes, Did They Steal A Million Yet?

“you'd tape the charts on a Sunday.”
