When I was seven my parents gave me a Royal 203 typewriter. I remember feeling so inspired by the promise of words and the possibility of the blank page. I’ve tried my hand at different things. I’ve been a fund manager in the City, a business school lecturer, a white-collar boxer and an Army officer. But I always come back to that typewriter and those feelings of promise and possibility. I wrote the first draft of my novel White Collar on that Royal 203. I spent the early part of my career in Dundee, London and Mumbai, and now I live with my family in North Wales. My first book, Salt, Sweat, Tears was shortlisted for best new writer at the Cross British Sports Book Awards, 2015.
