News....

 

 

13 February 2012 -  Just a brief catch-up..... work on the new ebook is progressing well and it will be out well ahead of EURO2012.

 

Talks on a movie version of this project are already progressing well and we have a couple of big name British stars looking at becoming involved.

 

There has also been movement on a couple of my other movie projects but more on these as and when.

 

That's all folks!

 

 

29 January 2012 - I am delighted to announce that I have agreed to become the latest columnist for Total Football magazine.

For someone like me who moans a lot, this is a heaven sent opportunity as it means I get to share my irritation with a wider audience! So as the months unfold I'll be unleashing my fury on all kinds of football related subjects ranging from cheating players to useless pundits and all points in between! I can't wait!

 

Full details including my first submission can be found here

 

Further to my last post, I am both thrilled and astonished to tell you that The Crew currently stands at number 1 in the free download charts on both amazon UK and USA as well as on iTunes. Better still, Top Dog is also up there in the paid charts which means I actually get to eat once in a while!

 

Seriously though, thank you to all those who have purchased ebooks. I'm not a little bit humbled by your support.

 

 

18 January 2012 – Could I just say a huge thanks to everyone who has purchased one of my ebooks over the last few weeks as sale seems to have gone through the roof!

 

The decision to give away The Crew for free has certainly proven to be sound as sell-throughs of Top Dog have been fantastic. So much so that I am seriously under pressure to write either the sequel to that or even the prequel to The Crew. What do you think?

 

The Art of Fart also seems to be selling well although it could always be better so please, if you have read it and liked it, spread the word! Reviews on Amazon or Itunes always help and if you are a Facebook user, the book has a dedicated page which can be found by clicking here.

 

Could I also remind you that Everywhere We Go is now free to download on iTunes and we’re hopeful Amazon will follow suit and drop the price fairly quicky.

 

Onto other matters; work on the new project is continuing apace (more details as and when) and hopefully I will soon be able to pass on details of two new ventures including a comedy movie project.

Finally, I recently gave an interview to a journalist who has allowed me to put the text on my blog and you can find that here. It's really quite good I think.

That’s all for now folks!

 

 

17 December 2011 - I'm more than chuffed to announce that my new comedy book The Art of Fart is now available to download from amazon for just £1.71! 

 

Written in the same style of The Geezers Guide to Football, it explores the issue of farting (what else?)

 

Please visit the store or the website via the tags above for further details and/or to purchase or simply click on the cover.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10 December 2011 - More good news on the eBook front; My first four books are now available to download via all of the major online providers. Please visit the store via the tag above for further details and/or to purchase or simple click on the relevant cover below.

 

     

 

My new book will be released next week. More details nearer the day!

 

 

 

07 December 2011 - Big news on the eBook front including a brand new book will be released over the next few days!

 

In the meantime, I am thrilled to announce that sales of my eBooks have outstripped all expectation so huge thanks to all those who have downloaded copies. But could I please ask that you leave reviews on the sites you purchased them from. They really do make a difference.

 

 

18 November 2011 - I am pleased to announce that Barmy Army is now out in ebook format. Please click on the cover to order from amazon.

 

 

 

I'm also thrilled to pass on news that there will be a brand new ebook released in time for Christmas. I can't go into too much detail at this time but suffice to say, it's a comedy. I've certainly had a blast writing it and feedback so far has been excellent so I have everything crossed that it will do well.

 

I will also be able to pass on details of my new movie project fairly soon and with filming due to commence in the spring, 2012 is already shaping up nicely.

 

Finally, please check out my blog. I've been a busy boy lately!

 

 

08 November 2011 - Just t to let everyone that Barmy Army will soon be released in ebook format and that work on the new book is progressing well.

 

I've also just uploaded a new blog giving my thoughts on John Terry! Just click on the link above to read it.

 

 

19 October 2011 - Hi all, I am delighted to announce that I have just agreed a deal to write my 15th book!

 

I cannot provide too many details at the moment other than it will be a non-fiction comedy book aimed directly at lads! Thankfully I have a large chunk of it written already as I have a very tight deadline to work to so please, watch this space for updates!

 

 

3 October 2011 - Hi all, just a few things to pass on.

 

Reaction to the first draft of my new hooliganism based screenplay has been extremely positive and I am just waiting for some notes before putting the finishing touches to the second draft. The producers actually took it to the Toronto Film Festival last month and it now appears we are on course to commence filming in the early part of next year. 

 

It really is a great story and yes, for those who have asked, unlike Green Street there will be a book version of this movie!

 

On the subject of books, downloads of both The Crew and Top Dog continue apace with the two books currently sitting at numbers 1 & 2 in their respective football charts. Sadly, Top Dog is being kept off the top spot by Gary Neville's autobiogrpahy so whoever is buying that, please stop!! Full details can be found here:

Amazon.

 

Finally, my talk at the Kicking & Screening Film Festival in London on Monday 26th September was sold out so thanks to those who came. It really was fantastic fun and I would encourage every football fan to watch the documentary Argentina Futbul Club. It really is the most amazing movie. Very funny in parts and very relevant.

 

Thankfully, the entire festival was a massive success and huge credit for that must go to the legendary Tom Watt and Sky TV director Grant Best who organised the whole thing. Here's hoping it's the start of something big.

 

More news as and when!

 

 

13 September 2011 -I am thrilled to announce that I will be speaking at the Kicking & Screaming Film Festival in London on Monday 26th September.

 

I've been asked to take part in a discussion ahead of a screening of 'Argentina Futbal Club' which should be a giggle.

 

Full details can be found here!

 

 

11 September 2011 -I am delighted to announce that The Crew is now available as a free download from Amazon and as I type, is sitting at number 3 in the free download charts and number 1 in the football chart. The publishers tell me that at one stage a copy was being downloaded every 50 seconds or so which is quite something!

 

So if you have an electronic device of any kind, please help keep me up there by downloading a copy via: 

 

The Crew

 

 

30 August 2011 - Just to let everyone know, I have finished the first draft of my new movie and that will now be sent to the producers for their notes. I'm really pleased with it and think it's going to look absolutely spectacular. Especially if we can secure the director we've been talking about.

 

On other matters, downloads of The Crew and Top Dog are going very well but could I please ask those who have read it to post a review online. They really do make a difference.

 

Mind you, on the very remote chance that you didn't like it, feel free to keep your opinions to yourself! :-D

 

 

05 August 2011 - I'm delighted to announce that thank to the good people at Lulu.com and the excellent www.ebookpartnership.com my novel The Crew is now available as a free download (that's right... FREE!!) whilst the sequel, Top Dog is a mere £2.49! Please click on the covers below to obtain/purchase!

 

The Crew     Top Dog

 

On other matters, I am busy beavering away on a new movie for the producers of the recent smash Anuvahood which should commence filming later this year. We already have the lead actor lined up and he's someone I've wanted to write for for years so it's very exciting!

 

Watch this space!

 

 

08 July 2011 - As you might have noticed from the home page, I have just started work on some promotional videos to upload onto the ebook area of the site. Brimson goes viral, who would have thought it! 

 

And on the subject of ebooks, I've just proof read Top Dog and both it and The Crew should be online very soon.

 

 

28 June 2011 - I am pleased to announce that Eurotrashed has just been released in ebook format. Please click on the cover for more information or to purchase.

 

Eurotrashed: The Rise and Rise of Europe's Football Hooligans

 

Barmy Army will be next followed by The Crew and Top Dog.

 

I have also posted some blogs recently and am working on some very exciting projects news of which will be posted on here very soon. 

 

 

24 May 2011 - I am not a little humbled to announce that I have been shortlisted for the 2011 BBC Writers Academy.

 

I won't go into too many details of what that means but suffice to say that to make it onto that list is quite an achievment especially for someone who has had no formal training in screenwriting.

 

The next stage of the selection process takes place in July which gives me plenty of time to either worry or wallow in a long overdue bout of self-congratulation! I'm not sure which I'll do yet!

 

I have also finally got my arse in gear and added a store to the site (see link above) to allow the purchasing of both eBooks and paperbacks directly from Amazon. 

 

On which note, with regard to Amazon could I please encourage anyone and everyone who has read any of my books (or ebooks) to post a review. It only takes a few minutes and is really important because it genuinely does make a difference.

 

Thanks folks.
