Welcome to my website where you can find out about me and my novel This, my second life, which is out now, published by Hutchinson Heinemann.

‘An intense and beautiful piece of writing.’ Amanda Craig

'An unexpectedly peaceful and life affirming story woven into the fabric of a thriller.' Esther Freud

‘Touching richly evocative. A remarkable debut novel.’ Patrick Gale

‘Utterly absorbing, beautifully written and insightful in unexpected ways. This, My Second Life is a moving must-read.’ Jennie Godfrey

‘Deceptively simple, yet completely compulsive. I was absorbed by Jago's story and the world around him.’ Gill Hornby

‘Thrilling and tender, I enjoyed every word. Jago is a very original and memorable narrator, full of warmth and optimism and entirely lacking in guile.’ Julie Myerson
