All About Me
Where I Work
I write most days, in a little office at the top of the house. It has fairy lights in the ceiling so when I turn a switch, it’s like the stars coming out.

My cats, Heathcliff and Jeremy, like to visit, and usually jump up and walk all over my computer keyboard, which isn’t very helpful.

I was born in Plymouth, Devon, in 1946.
This is the third year of the William Hill Irish Sports Book of the Year Award.
I was an only child. We didn’t have a television and nobody had computers in those days, so I played out in the street with my friends (not many cars then) and went to the library a lot, because I loved reading books. I tried writing my own stories too.
