For those who don’t know, I have played guitar for around 17 years. I’m no Eric Johnson, but I’m not bad. ‘Decent’ – that’s the word! As a teenager, playing guitar was my main activity, alongside being moody and awkwardly trying to speak with women. In fact, I used to play in a punk rock…
I love coffee, even though these days I tend to drink more decaf than the actual good stuff. I even had a… tea the other day (gasp). And, as a freelance writer, I’d rather work from cafes than go stir crazy (or stir crazier) at home. In fact, much of my working day is spent…
Right – cup of coffee, laptop, WordPress… Let’s do this! It’s been a while since I’ve updated this website, which acts as both a hub to bring together some of my writing work and a severely underused blog. Most readers will know the years of blogging work I did on ForzaSwansea – which won best…
Hello! It’s been a while, but I’ve been busy working on my latest book, which I am now pleased to announce – Swansea City: Match of My Life! This is a fantastic collection of stories from 16 iconic Swans players, reliving their favourite games in a Swansea City shirt. There are contributions from absolute legends…

This is down to other writing projects and clients…
I was invited to speak about Swansea City on BBC Radio Wales Sport earlier this week, which was broadcast live from the freezing cold dugouts of the Liberty Stadium. You can check out the full show, featuring Lee Trundle, Abigail Davies and myself (I feature throughout the second hour) by heading to the BBC iPlayer.
Just a quick note to inform people that I’ll be signing copies of Swansea City’s Greatest Games in Waterstones, Swansea on Tuesday, 9th December. It’s just me and a pen – nothing fancy – so come along, buy a book and have it signed!
On Friday, October 3rd my first book, Swansea City’s Greatest Games, was successfully launched in Waterstones, Swansea. (Picture: South Wales Evening Post) After some fantastic anecdotes and a wonderful introduction from Swansea City club chaplain Kevin Johns, I took to the stage to read the book’s first chapter before talking about the research and writing…
Hello there. I don’t update this blog that often (in fact this is only the second time since I created this site last month…), but I thought I’d write a little update about the project that’s been taking up most of my time recently. After it was commissioned, I started writing my first book, Swansea…
