I’m very happy to announce that my new book ANGELS AND DIRTY FACES is now out. It’s a memoir full of sadness, happiness and funny stories from my childhood in the East End of the 1950s. I loved writing it and I hope you will get equal enjoyment out of reading it.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the book signing and bought the books at Stock last week. I really enjoy meeting new people and having a laugh and a joke. Plus, you never know who might cross your path: I’ve met such interesting people, just because I get a lot of pleasure out of chatting!

July 27th, Stock, 2pm, I’ll be giving a lecture on my travels and adventures round India, so I hope to see many of you there.

August 22nd, from 11am, I’ll be doing another book signing at Waterstones in Brentwood. Hope to see you there too.

Last but not least, I do apologise to those of you who have left generous comments on this site. I very much appreciate you taking the time to do so, and your kind words. I haven’t been able to get back to you because I’m having very frustrating problems getting the internet up and running in my new house, so I please bear with me.
