Nice things that professional writers have said about me:
Jan McVerry (TV writer – Clocking Off, Forsyte Saga, Coronation Street) “With prose as taut as a guitar string, he dissects the workings of the male mind.”
Chris Dukes (London School of Journalism short-course tutor) “This writing is a superb piece of prose, and really engrossing.” “The thing is your writing has dynamics. You really have something to run with.”
Thanks for the support – you know who your friends are at times like these.

Testimonial comments:- I imagine this a very hard section to write but you have managed to do so without sounding full of yourself and being funny and humble at the same time. Well struck and enjoyable to read.
