I am a former journalist, having worked as a sub-editor for the Press Association, The Daily Mirror, The Mail on Sunday, and The Sporting Life. I have also been employed as a builder's labourer, a public relations executive and a ship's writer in the Merchant Navy.

I am the author of three books - Dear Popsy: Collected Postcards of a Private Schoolboy to his Father; Jimmy, Mrs Fisher and Me; and A Ruined Boy.

Dear Popsy tells of the decadent goings-on at St Cloud's, an exclusive public school,where the boys prefer rouge to rugger and bondage to Bunsen burners. Michael Palin {of Monty Python fame} said of it: "...very, very funny...carries on where Decline and Fall left off... I think I am jealous." And Rupa Gulab wrote: "The most wickedly fu

“Do you ever wear leather?" the guy asks.
"What?"
"Leather. Do you like leather?"
"It doesn't exactly wipe me out."
"I like to see boys in leather."
I look at him cool. "Okay," I say, "what is it you want and how much are you willing to pay for it?"
"I've got a leather jacket upstairs...Would you put it on?"
"Just put it on?"
"I'll go and get it."
He leaves the horror hole and returns a few minutes later holding a leather flying jacket with a lambswool collar. There are tears in the jacket's sleeves, and the lambswool is yellow with age. John Wayne could've worn it in one of those crappy war films he made. "Put it on," the guy says.
I give him a spiky smile and put on the jacket. "Okay, where's the plane, and what time's take-off?"
"Drop your jeans and turn around.”

“This book could corrupt or debauch. It would not make suitable reading for Boy Rangers, Aunt Matilda, or those contemplating a life of celibacy. - Eric Bishop-Potter on "Jimmy, Mrs Fisher and Me.”
