New digs! After five amazing years at Simon & Schuster I have bid my brilliant colleagues and authors a fond farewell and hopped over to the fine folk at Bloomsbury Books UK Trade to become their paperback director. So far so good, I think I'll go back for day two 😄

Honestly. Covering West Indies cricket for the last 5 years on Caribbean Cricket Podcast has been no joke. Every last sinew of my moral fibre has been tested by these guys. 27 all out vs Australia has taken me there. Rock bottom after rock bottom.
