Excerpt from The Treasury of Human Inheritance, Vol. 2: Nettleship Memorial Volume
In carrying out the design of the Nettleship volume I was indeed fortunate since I succeeded in enlisting the services of such a thorough and energetic inquirer as Dr J. Bell. The many years of laborious research involved in the preparation of this work mark a very noteworthy achievement. Exitus actor probat.

I was born in Bristol but raised in Wales (I can speak Welsh!) and have published two novels for young adults - Massive and Dirty Work, both published by Macmillan in the UK. In the US Massive is published by Simon and Schuster and Dirty Work by Walker Books. Massive has also been translated into ten languages, including Thai! I also wrote and co-edited the bestselling Creative Writing Coursebook while I was working at the University of East Anglia, which is also published by Macmillan.
I am a Senior Lecturer at Birkbeck, University College of London where I teach on the MA Creative Writing and co-ordinate the annual publication The Mechanics' Institute Review and the new web portal The Birkbeck Writers' Hub.
I am currently working on my fourth novel - Bad Faith - and collaborating on work for the screen.
