please explain your tweet name

Great. Welcome to the...

What was the last book you read?
Bombprrof, by Michael Robotham. Given that the main protagonist is a guitar player confused for a master criminal and goes by the name of Sami MacBeth, I wasn’t expecting it to be punching above my intellectual weight, but it was cleverer than I thought it’d be.

Advice for New Fathers!
I know a few new dads - or dads-to-be - out there. There are plenty of books and advice for new mums out there, but I’m not a mum and I’m not well placed to advise them. But fathers, who don’t get quite so much, can do worse than read this. But possibly not much worse.
