edit data

I am Ivan Wainewright. I live in Kent (England) with my partner, Sarah and our slightly neurotic rescue Staffie, Remi. Before moving to Kent, I lived in North London, Leeds and Singapore.

In 2022, I won the Selfies Book Awards at the London Book Fair for the Best Independently Published adult fiction, for my novel, "The Other Times of Caroline Tangent".

I have been an independent IT consultant for many years, working solely with charities and not-for-profit organisations. ...more

I adored it as a child & I feel very lucky I found a secondhand copy a few years ago. The beautiful pictures

feel as evocative to me now as they did then. Read more of this blog post »

“We have a grey-faced Tory Prime Minister, Kevin Costner is the closest thing we’ve got to Robin Hood, our poet is dead (RIP Kurt Cobain) and it’s Monday bastard morning so, you’re right D:Ream, things can only get better.”
