About Me
Hi, I’m Steve. I’m 44 but I don’t look it. I used to manage community radio stations in the north of England but I gave that up to try my hand at writing. My first book was published on Kindle in 2013 and my tenth book was released in the summer of lockdown 2020. So far I have sold over 200,000 copies of my books and each month Kindle Unlimited readers get through a stack of my pages which reach as tall as the Arndale Centre Tower so I’m glad I took the gamble of leaving radio behind to pursue the writing, even though I still miss dossing about in radio stations and especially the great people I have worked alongside.
I have set this blog up so that I can write things that are a bit shorter than books from time to time!
