3 SLIGHTLY INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT ME
1. Last year I wrote a presentation script for a mega famous Hollywood film star. I was only paid for half of it though as it went on about dogs a bit too much
2. My 6th great uncle is Lord Horatio Nelson
3. One of my books was banned from Tesco and The Sun ran a full page story about it
